We live in Indiana and for us it is simply an investment in being prepared and semi self-sufficient. Yes, power outages are relatively infrequent but could be worse.
With a large farm population near us and a personal garden we can survive a food apocalypse in the short term but in a major emergency if there was a power apocalypse only those with solar and battery storage have a backup plan in place.
We are not preppers, just retired and trying to avoid a disruption to our regular day to day lives.
