You got the point

But I guess a power loss during a thunderstorm can happen anywhere, it's not relevant which company it is

Maybe a generator could be in place.. That kicks in when the main power quits.. Or an APU...

You may try to buy a UPS system which allow you to have an extra minute time for data saving once the power is cut.

(That stuff is quite expensive.)

Or you can save your game often, although you cannot save when you are submerged

30 sec power loss is frustrating

but a 1 sec power loss is even more frustrating

You can also buy battery-packs that will keep the system running for a long time during a power loss. They are also fairly expensive.

Go with a UPS system. APC makes a nice 500VA model backup that sells for around $70 and will keep you afloat for at least 5-10 minutes after the power goes out. They are CHEAP insurance.. because believe me, power strips won't protect your system 90% of the time. They don't help with "brown outs" at all, and they don't "clean" your power, meaning, giving you you clean, constant voltages and removing all surges, spikes and low voltage conditions (ie. Lights dimming= brownout).

I run a Minuteman 1100VA system here that runs 3 PCs and all my internetworking equipment with no problems. This one is overkill for most people and it cost me around $500, but to me, my systems and equipment cost 4x that and it truly does work. I just built this new dual core and would hate to lose it to a surge.

Don't let anyone kid you, a power strip/surge protector may last you through one power surge or lightning hit (that is if you own a GOOD quality one, not a $5 walmart special). Typically after that they are just holes to plug multiple plugs into.

Just my nickels worth.
