Power and weather behind internet outages in Vancouver
Clark Public Utilities customers averaged 145 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.47 interruptions each, against 624 minutes for Washington 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 Vancouver power outages when both go out together.
Clark County logged 28 storm reports since 2015, most often funnel cloud, flood, and tornado. Power outages were named in 1 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 29.9% of Vancouver homes, cable 99.1% and copper lines 42%. 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.
