IF they were going to spend that kind of money, I would have thought they would have put solar panels and some sort of battery for each house. That would prevent the situation from a storm that they describe.

Also,

bury power/transmission lines
generator for each house

Be "off grid" for 98% of the time. When there is a natural disaster, have a back up like generators.
