By the Numbers: How Many Watts Are on Wobble?
As of today, June 15th, 2024, things are looking pretty bright (literally). There are a measly 348 reported outages across the state according to [PowerOutage.us](link to PowerOutage.us). That's a tiny blip compared to Georgia Power's total of over 2.6 million satisfied customers. Basically, most folks are basking in the cool comfort of air conditioning (because let's be honest, Georgia summers are no joke).
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
But hey, even a small outage can feel like the apocalypse when your Netflix is on the fritz and your fridge starts to sound like a sad trombone.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
