If it makes anyone feel better, years ago I worked for Microsoft in Redmond, Wa. Cost for our data centers was no object and we had the best backup power systems that money could buy at the time. Comes along a big storm in Redmond that took out the power and you guesed it, the lights go out, my screen goes dark, and the fire doors slammed shut..

I think lightning hit the backup generators. The good news is that my house was near "campus" and I got power restored days before anybody else.
