I live in a major US city and my power goes out at least once every couple of months, sometimes for hours at a time. I have installed several UPSes on important electrical things (servers, routers, modem) to avoid the hassles that come with regular power failures.

(Not that the Lightning would be a big help here - these outages very rarely last a day or more - but it’s not the case that outages are rare events.)
