Last year there was big ones around my area too. Go out for a drive in it. Pitch black streets & no traffic lights ftw. Its eerie like a zombie movie

Most house alarms do have a battery back up which will set off the alarm if your supply is lost. Just like car alarms 
Same as mains powered smoke alarms, They will beep if power is lost.
