Power and weather behind internet outages in Morgantown
Mon Power (FirstEnergy) customers averaged 852 minutes without power in 2024, across 2.87 interruptions each, against 1,166 minutes for West Virginia 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 Morgantown power outages when both go out together.
Monongalia County logged 258 storm reports since 2015, most often thunderstorm wind, flash flood, and hail. Reports peak in June. Power outages were named in 4 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 70.1% of Morgantown homes, cable 97.7% and copper lines 5.2%. Where fiber runs to the home, a red or blinking LOS light on the optical terminal points to a line problem that a restart will not fix.
