power bumps and outages

for years we have done great with power having very few power related issues.. i am starting to get the feeling that this is planned, similar to what happened down in Venezuela and other countries that have fallen. from hours of power loss from the grid to just bumps and brown outs. i have lost several thousand dollars worth of audio equipment and appliances in the last few months due issues with the grid.. it started as small bumps but is getting worse and worse as time goes on. i have a ups on a lot of stuff now to help minimize damages from brownouts, and the generator only kicks on after the power has been lost for more than 30 seconds, thats where i have my timer set.. more and more lately i feel like the temperature on the pot is being turned up more and the inevitable is upon us. it just makes me sad to see the signs other fallen countries manifesting themselves here in my own backyard.. i have family across the nation that are having the same issues across the board. from washington to florida and maine to southern california granted we did have a hurricane just float through but very few family along the eastern seaboard had issues with power during the hurricane.. i recon i just worry about the inevitable path e are on.. yall have a nice morning..
