Power Outages

We have had so many power outages in my neighborhood recently that caused me to go buy a generator.  Yesterday, power went out and I waited an hour for it to come back on before I pulled out the generator and started it up.  Ran all the extentions and just as I started plugging things in, the power came back on.  Not complaining about the effort exerted to pull out the generator.  Just glad the power came back on!  Wonder  why the power company is having so much trouble keeping the power going.  I understand when there's a big huricane or snow storm but yesterday there was nothing.
