Depending on what the HDD is doing at the time, a power outage can be catastrophic to it as well.
For this reason, it is always good to have your desktop plugged into an uninterruptible power supply. Basically a glorified surge protector with a battery. Some of them have petty cool features like sending a shutdown command when it senses that power is out.
