So there are power outages happening before the storm even reaches land (and after it dissipates, outside of it's path), so much that it looks a bit like random noise? Is that normal over there?

Yeah remember the storm is very big so before it makes landfall or even without making landfall, it is still affecting a wide area.

Dude at least in Asheville, NC. We had a massive storm the night before, took down a fair few trees. I imagine it was hard to get some of that back on, then the wind picked up before the heavy heavy rain came.

My partner grew up in the rural South East. Says it's pretty normal to lose power randomly throughout the year.
