The opposite case would be a power failure, which you don’t hear about as often as there has been a lot of improvements in preventing them at a data center level from UPS’, backup generators and connections to redundant power networks. Even if all those fail, it’s a more gradual process thats impact time can be estimated and mitigated. A power surge on the other hand triggers a failsafe immediate and unexpected power cutoff, which is why you hear about it more often. I think that overwhelmingly we only really see surges anymore.
