As someone from outside the US, the thought of 6 hour rolling blackouts is completely insane. I dont even think ive had a 6 hour blackout ever. Is the grid that piss-poor there?

No...they are shutting it off on purpose. It has even been cooler than normal this year. No excuse. In southern Oregon the power company has decided they will have rolling blackouts when fire dangers where extreme. So there isn't an incident like supposedly happened in Paradise CA. The areas they rank in danger are all mapped and are heavily forested areas of towns and cities. Even if they have to leave it off for weeks...
