In an area touched by freezing rain, homes are not damaged and people expect services back within hours and issue "#provider sucks" tweets if they don't. But in an area where homes are rendered uninhabitable, it takes a while before residents can return to their address (either new or repaired home) and then ask for services to be restored. The advantage of this is this is more of a staggered restauration process so less load on utilities who have more time to repair the shared infrastructure before dealing with individual homes.
