Uh, I guess I just lucked out. But the area of DC where I live is quite resilient. Most of the houses were built about 100 years ago, so whatever could be cut or gone down already did so a few times and was fixed. There was no power loss during last year's earthquake and tropical storm and the hub which feeds Glover Park comes up from the same Georgetown harbor connection that feeds the White House. After all, the area is just 3 miles to the NW. There was a short blackout for half a day in April last year due to flooding of the harbor however. Some jerk forgot to open the gates and cut off the Obama's power.
