US power grid is not very reliable, common knowledge. And in general... One of my first strong impressions of the country was how vulnerable it was. In some ways I was wrong: a society based on trust is stronger than a society based on fear (this apparently applies to economy and finances as well). But in some ways I was not: the infrastructure is outdated and trailing far behind both the modern technology and the demand. And it has been that way for a long time now.
They will fix the power soon, I have no doubt about that. Fixing the grid and the rest of the infrastructure is not that easy and will take some effort and willpower.
Update. Fixed. Now the grid.
