The number of reports received in any given year has something to do with weather (extreme weather events such as the big storm in December 1995 tend to generate more reports), but more to do with cooperators who are willing to document the failures they encounter. In the early days of our program we used to receive an average of 200 reports per year. In recent years the numbers are dwindling. Sadly, the number received in 2026 as of March 17th is only 12.
