Yes, obviously; how else can a few wind gusts on a beautiful day take out power to a million people?

'third-world' is pretty extreme terminology. Voted No.

I know for a fact I've never experienced day-long power outages in Russia. Several times in the U.S.!

That's because in Russia there is no electricity in most homes.
