Well, a very practical thing to have and it came in handy for your flash of red. We have surge protectors on most of our plugs too. We don't get the same amount of outages you do, but it never hurts to be prepared. Good shot!
What a pain to have to deal with all that. We only have a couple of surge-protectors, but do have a master switch in the fuse-box that will trip if there's a power-surge. Simple for us to reset too.
