Yeah. We get a lot of thunderstorms around here plus the occasional tornado.
I have been very pleased with my elec util the last 5 years or so. It's not that unusual to lose power during a very bad storm but it's usually restored within a few hours. The last extended outage was during/after a bad ice storm about eight(?) years ago. Sometimes they are able to reroute and the outage only lasts a few seconds. Back in The Good Old Days, it wasn't unusual to be out for 1-2 days, several times a year.
