Well I do have one small one but it only power the micro server with PFSense and the Wireless AP to keep the Internet on through the little blips now and then.  In MN we have been lucky.  Its not horrible here even though we have above ground power.  

I wouldn't spend that much I will just deal with rebooting the world afterwards
