Lifelong Saco resident. Sorry you're getting snarky answers but the truth is it's literally impossible to predict. I will say that in most parts of Saco going without power for more than a day or two is rare.

I live in falmouth foreside, the longest I've ever lost power for is 3 minutes, and that was in 1977.

That’s fair and if someone asked me my specific town I could give them specific zones that are more prone to power outages. I’ve also never had issues with just internet back in MA. Always just power. Today I got a text about potential outages from Spectrum.

Yeah I would say the same for Internet as well. Usually back within a matter of hours not days. If you're in North Saco it tends to be a longer wait but even that is dependent on how bad the storm actually is.

Large internet outage is usually due to power loss at a critical node in the spectrum network. Wells area was devastated in the last storm, with over 100 lines down between the house and the pole.
