I think some may have gotten caught up in the discussion of 7-8 story buildings and lost sight of Jazzy's initial comment.

It's important to remember a derecho of that strength and size in this region is a rare and extreme weather event. It is not something that allows for much advance preparation. It was responsible for the third most outages to Dominion customers in Virginia history. The top two were hurricanes. The outages didn't discriminate based on zip codes or neighborhood density. Many of the areas farther from the feeders (mid and high rise buildings included) were without power longer than far out suburbs.
