The grid is overloaded, inadequately upgraded, lacks redundancy, and is a time bomb ticking. Take a clue and be prepared.
You can either make your own electricity, or be ready to get by without it. IMHO, living without it for more than an hour or two is very inconvenient and uncomfortable.
Remember that when the lights go out, the roaches come out of the woodwork, at the human level as well as the insect.
Hence the need for a defensive plan and preparation.
Jason, if I lost power that often, I would write the utility company a letter and cc the state utility commission. I would also be ready for the next time they went out. At the same time, you sound like you are out of the high-traffic area refugees and criminals prefer.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
