Power and weather behind internet outages in Missoula
NorthWestern Energy customers averaged 233 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.3 interruptions each, against 352 minutes for Montana 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 Missoula power outages when both go out together.
Missoula County logged 69 storm reports since 2015, most often hail, thunderstorm wind, and flood. Reports peak in August. Power outages were named in 41 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 40.7% of Missoula homes, cable 92.8% and copper lines 91.1%. 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.
