Agreed. My home (outside DC) rarely has power cuts - maybe once every 3rd year during a heavy snowfall or other major weather event. And it's almost always repaired within an hour or two.
My office has more frequent outages, but that's due to heavy construction in the area (shouldn't happen, but it does, I guess).
