Outages and Backup generator?

I recently moved to South Bend from North Carolina to work at Notre Dame and stay close to Clay High School. We lost power on 07/03 at 4pm, and AEP has not yet restored it (its like noon on 07/04). This has been the longest outage ever -- the longest outage that I previously was affected by, even in my semi-rural NC town was about 4-5hrs. Also, the house that I am in has well water. So no power, no water.

I was wondering if outages are common in this area and do people generally have backup generators? I am especially worried about the situation as snow and winter approaches

Hi, I am starting as a staff at Notre Dame this summer. My wife and I are looking to rent a house in the area. I found a couple of rentals on Welworth Ave, in the Indian Village neighborhood close to ND.

How is that area in general in terms of safety etc? Any intel would be appreciated.

No kids so not super concerned about school district etc.
