Corrections

What it said: Said "✓ Power looks on" when no outage was reported in the area. The sources report outages, not whether the power is on at an address.

What it says now: Says "No outages reported" in the area right now, and that this is what the utilities and federal data we read report and can't confirm the power at a single address. Open how to read a result.

What it said: Showed "0 customers out" and "Power looks on" for places where we have no live source at all: the federal county data has no Alaska counts, and we read none of those utilities' maps. The page also offered an alert that could never fire.

What it says now: Says there is no live outage count there, that a blank does not mean the power is on, and points to the utility's own outage page. No alert is offered. Open how to read a result.

What it said: Listed every National Weather Service alert for the county, including ones that cannot cause outages, such as a High Surf Advisory.

What it says now: Lists only alerts of a kind that can cause outages, as the county pages already did. Open how to read a result.

What it said: Said a note "goes straight to the team". No record shows a team.

What it says now: Says the note is delivered to the site's operator. Open the contact page.

What it said: 21 pages (14 guides and seven pages about the site) printed "reviewed" with a date. Each date was set when the AI software that maintains the site re-checked the page against its sources. No person had reviewed any of them.

What it says now: Each byline says "checked by AI software" with that date. A page will say it was reviewed by the site's operator only after the operator has read it against its sources; none says so yet. Open the editorial policy.

What it said: Promised "we read every note", which no record we keep supports.

What it says now: Says where a message goes: it is delivered to the site's operator. Open the contact page.

What it said: Said every completed outage was graded, "none skipped".

What it says now: Says what is graded: our estimator re-run at each reading after an outage's peak, scored against when 90% of customers were back. Outages with too few readings to grade are not scored, and the panel says so. About half of the tracked outages were graded on the day of the correction. Open the accuracy page.

What it said: Named a cause, "mostly non-weather (aging infrastructure)", because no weather signal was found. Beside it, a letter grade ("Local reliability F") read as a grade of the reader's own home.

What it says now: Names no cause, since none of our sources records one, and shows no letter. It says how often the county had a sizable outage, with the size, the share of time and the span of readings, and that it is not a rating of any street or home. Open how the county line is defined.

What it said: Said our estimate comes "before your utility posts one". No measure we keep compares when the two appear, and at the same readings the utilities' posted times were the closer.

What it says now: Says the estimate is independent of the utility's and can appear when no official time has been posted. Open the forecast guide.

What it said: Of 55 statements checked against the code that produces the estimates, 22 said more than the code does, 3 were false, 2 were out of date and 4 could not be verified. Among them: which estimates the accuracy record grades, and that without one adjustment large-outage estimates were "roughly three times worse".

What it says now: Each statement describes the code as it runs. Only county-wide estimates at readings after an outage's peak are graded, and the unsupported comparisons are gone. Open the methodology.

What it said: A sentence-by-sentence check of nine guides found 68 problems: 30 statements went further than their source, 13 could not be verified, 12 were unclear, 11 were wrong and 2 were out of date. For example, USDA's "up to 4 hours" for refrigerated food had lost its condition (the refrigerator stays closed), an OSHA fact-sheet practice was called a rule, and some advice was credited to a source that does not give it.

What it says now: Each claim matches the source it links, with that source's conditions, and is credited to the source that says it. Open the guides.

What it said: Said the site covers every US location and every county, that every forecast is graded, and that the site is operated by a small independent team. The federal county data we use counts only the utilities that report into it and includes no counts for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, and no record supported the description of who runs it.

What it says now: These pages describe the coverage as it is, say that only county-wide estimates of outages that reached 200 customers are graded, and no longer describe the operator. The privacy policy now lists what our beacon keeps and for how long. Open About.

What it said: Described the past outages a forecast draws on as "of any size" (for example "based on 454 past outages of any size"), when the archive keeps only outages that reached 200 customers.

What it says now: Says they are past outages of 200 or more customers. Open the methodology.

What it said: Said "at the current pace" beside a time that also allowed for a slower final stretch, so the time was not the count divided by the pace shown. Harris County, Texas read "~4 hr to restore at the current pace (roughly 46 customers an hour)" with 97 customers out, where that pace gives about 2 hours.

What it says now: A time that allows for the slower final stretch says so, and "at the current pace" appears only beside a time the count and the pace give. Open the methodology.

What it said: A person could publish a software-drafted article after reading only its headline, summary and key figures.

What it says now: Publishing is closed until a person can review the whole article as readers would see it, with its sources. Open the editorial policy.

What it said: Called the reports "reviewed" and the footer said they were "reviewed and published by" our team, but the publishing tool showed a person only an article's headline, summary and key figures.

What it says now: These pages say what actually happened, and no longer describe a review that did not take place. Open the editorial policy.

What it said: Listed one outage more than once when a utility's records of it flickered off and on. Tehachapi, California listed the same August 19 outage twice.

What it says now: One utility's records of one outage are combined into one line, and a history list never repeats a line. Open the outage pages.

What it said: 262 articles had been published automatically from outage data, without a person reading them first.

What it says now: Automatic publishing is off and those articles have been taken down; their addresses answer that the page is gone. Open the editorial policy.

What it said: A small share, such as 1 of 600, could print as "0%".

What it says now: It prints "<1%", and "0%" or "100%" means none or all. Open the accuracy page.

What it said: A place with the same name in another county could supply a city's live number.

What it says now: A city page shows only its own place's count. Open the outage pages.

What it said: Could say "Power here was restored about N hours ago" while customers there were still out. Los Angeles County said so with 1,493 customers out.

What it says now: The history line reads the same count the page shows, so it never says power was restored while that count is above zero. Open the outage pages.
