Could be a tree falling, lightning, fires, drivers, you name it, but they won’t.

Haven’t seen any red flag warnings but they do put their breakers on “sensitive” during fire season, so, after some outages begin, you’ll see choppers looking for downed lines etc. Most likely woodpeckers. But we’ll never know.

I think that an overload is unlikely in the mountains. More likely an old transformer gone bye bye. Just guessing.
