Missing breakfast

I live in Northwest Aurora and have noticed a large uptick in power outages over the last couple years. I have an alarm system at home that lets me know every time there is a power outage and when it returns. Just before the 4th of July last year we had a power outage because of a squirrel. Since then, I have lost power on 10/16/24, 11/10/24, 12/11/24, 1/11/25, 5/26/25, 6/28/25, 7/8/25. The outages happen a lot in early morning times for a couple of hours. This is actually the worst time for my husband because he makes breakfast at 4:00am to be at work at 4:45 as a fitness specialist. Breakfast is a big deal to get his day started.
The outage in January was on a Saturday lasted about 6-7 hours and we had to leave the house to eat breakfast at a restaurant. The house was 52 degrees when the power was returned.
The outage in July was during my workday while I was working from home and I had was dropped from a Teams meeting I was in. The outage lasted 25 minutes.
The outages have become really disruptive to our regular routines. It has also really affected businesses at the Stanley Marketplace. Our friends who own restaurants there have had to cancel service on some days and have had to call in refrigerated trucks on other occasions to keep their food cold.
