They're pretty common in more rural areas. My parents live rural California and they lose power for at least a week every year. A gas stove is a must.

Sorry, obviously not from the US. Is a week per year every year without energy common in rural areas? In Germany that would be outrages. On the other hand, Germany is small compared to the US.
