Central Electric Cooperative (https://www.central.coop/).

When we moved to this neighborhood a couple of years ago, we were told by our neighbors that the area tended to loose power frequently, and a lot of them had backup generators because of this. After a few times where it went down from 4-6 hours, we invested in one ourselves. Hasn't really been needed much until this incident (power still out as of this writing), but we're glad to have it, especially since my wife now works from home.
