Since the rankings seem to be the biggest states at the top, a more reasonable way to look at it might be outage days per 100,000 people. That would better show the pain people endured with long outages and weigh it for the number of people affected. Or maybe outage-people-days / 100,000 people which would give us units of outage-days.

Would you please share your source data that you used to create the graphic?

I simply grabbed a screenshot of the graphic here, but this site has the data parsed out in a variety of ways. https://paylesspower.com/blog/the-most-at-risk-states-for-power-outages/

Thanks Mike. They did break it down per capita, and Florida was #1. Which corresponds with what my Floridian friends say.
