Power and weather behind internet outages in Evansville
CenterPoint Energy customers averaged 458 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.43 interruptions each, against 312 minutes for Indiana as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Evansville power outages when both go out together.
Vanderburgh County logged 178 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flood, and flash flood. Reports peak in April. Power outages were named in 18 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 49.2% of Evansville homes, cable 92.8% and copper lines 43.3%. Cable is the main wired technology here. One neighborhood node feeds many homes, so a node fault usually shows up as a whole street offline at once.
