Powerlines from any source don't do well in hurricanes, but coal, oil and gas power plants have a solid track record.

Solar doesn't do well in hail storms either. Texas has some epic hail storms. (Very hard on cars too).

The natty gas power plant in Houma didn’t stand a chance for Ida. They even fortified the windows in recent years, but the cooling towers had issues. FEMA is supposed to come in and pay for a new plant.
