Not frequently, but weather extremes and natural disasters do cause outages. I was without power for a couple weeks after a tornado came through my neighborhood. Now I own a generator.
Thank you all for your answers! When you leave the cities here, cabling on utility poles is not uncommon, so disconnects are probable, when a tree falls in bad weather or so. Just also wanted to check if you all own a generator, because that is totally uncommon in metro areas here. If an energy provider in a city suggested or advertised an external generator connection as a bonus, he would be laughed at.
