Brian Potter wrote an in-depth essay for his newsletter "Construction Physics", analyzing customer outage minutes in different parts of the US, using our data. Link in comments.

Landfalling hurricanes are relatively rare events - data from the last 8 seasons shows where hurricanes have made landfall, with LA and the west coast of FL having some of the most frequent and intense storms. PowerOutage.us

Notice anything different?

I'm proud of our re-launch with significant form and functional improvements as the source of truth for power outage information. poweroutage.us

Insightful view of counties with power outages when the current weather radar layer is overlaid.

Putting the most-intense Atlantic hurricanes on a map, you can see just how extreme Hurricane #MELISSA is... #Jamaica's first Category 5 hurricane, and the first landfalling hurricane with a pressure below 900 mb in the Atlantic Basin in 95 years.

Power outages and radar reflectivity over the past 72 hours in 1 hour intervals. Nothing spookier than losing electricity. Happy Halloween. Stay safe. Hopefully everyone affected gets their power back on soon.

The requested dark mode is now available for toggle at PowerOutage.us!

Do you make snow or not with the next cold wave - here's some analysis showing seasonal variability of snow making conditions snowshoemtn. Less than 10% of days during the second week of November have favorable snow making conditions. Winter nearly failed 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Power outages from lake-effect snowfall and wind from my work at PowerOutage.us showing highest impacted areas in northern Indiana and adjacent Michigan. Jim Cantore

We're in the second hour of widespread power outages in WY and SD. Powder River Energy Corp and Black Hills Energy are experiencing the greatest outages, with over 120,000 customers out as of 5:15 ET. Root cause appears related to energy supply shortage. Graphic PowerOutage.us

We continue to innovate PowerOutage.us , here's an evolution of power outages from the squall line that came through northern Alabama today. Up to 10% out in some counties and 2% statewide from Alabama Power . This product is exclusively available to electric utilities.

Around 50,000 customers are without power this morning from wet snow accretion from OH to NJ. Cold temperatures and wind will slow restoration today. PECO Energy Co. AEP Ohio FirstEnergy Corp. are the most affected utilities.

Widespread power outages from PowerOutage.us as the wind event moved through. Synchronous peak outages reached 624,000 customers - over 1 Million people at peak. WA experienced the greatest number of customers reaching 359,000. MT had the highest relative out at 14% (84,000).

WV got hit the hardest in the east from the coast-to-coast storm system. As of 6:30 AM December 19, over 80,000 customers and 8% of the statewide population were without power due to high winds with the cold frontal passage. Widespread outages extend across much of WV with some

Cross-continent windstorm - fairly unique and impressive storm system

High-end freezing forecasts for PA are around 0.5" of liquid equivalent, which is just starting to get to the point of potentially causing power outages - limited grid impacts given shorter duration of fzra #pawx NOAA

Subfreezing wet bulb temperature and subfreezing overnight temperatures = potential for roadway icing on untreated surfaces, especially on bridges

Great visual from PowerOutage.us showing the narrow zone of freezing rain accretion in Michigan where over 27K are without power currently. Looks like peak accretion Freezing rain is Mother Nature's f-word - the Grinch has arrived. At least no extreme cold coming immediately.

2025 precipitation ended right around average at my CoCoRaHS station. The only notable wet period was from late spring to early summer, otherwise relatively dry. Max 24-hr precipitation 1.89" May 22. Measurable precip 41% of days. #pawx #precipitation #Pittsburghweather
