Don,

We've had so few, here, that they come as a real "surprise"!

We occasionally get what I call "annoyance" outages. That's when the power
blips off for a minute or two before coming on again. Just long enough to
screw up all the clocks in the house, annoying.

Thankfully, most of our clocks are battery operated now, and the UPS for my
computer sails right through those.
