Which provider did you have? I lose power way way less often than I did on the East Coast. I think a lot of it is specific to the power company.
I had PG&E. They were the only power company when I lived there. Not sure if things changed, but we didn't have a choice. PG&E was sued a few years earlier from a fire that was started due to high winds knocking down power lines, so as a "fuck you" they decided to shut down power any time the wind was blowing, which was all the damn time.
No PG&E still sucks. But I think that’s a PG&E thing, not necessarily a California thing. That said, they do deliver power to much of the state so it’s definitely an issue. They need to be broken up and ideally formed into municipal non-profit orgs in my opinion.
