I usually say power outage if it's a small thing and a blackout if it's something huge like half the city or something.

"Power outage"

I also want to know this since it's too common in our country and I can't think of what to write it in the dairy. Nowadays I usually say "lights went out" since I hear that mostly on tv and movies. I used to write the long "the power to the electricity was cut..." first.

Power out or a black out. Mostly Power out though.

i think most common is a blackout... i once experienced a blackout from peavine mountain in north Reno... it was the one of the most interesting things i have ever seen! there was thunder storms and we went into the hills, we were watching the storm that was right over reno at the time. a bolt of lightning struck a transformer box and it blew up and about 5 more explosions followed and blacked out a huge section of the city, i guess when one blows up it can short and blow up the one next to it too! there was about 8 seconds between each explosion and they were in sequence like dominoes... after the first couple me and my friend look at each other like wtf???

I call it a power outage. Power cut or black out means to me that it won't be fixed soon because there isn't enough for everyone. Power outage to me means a line is down or a transformer is bad and it soon will be fixed. Seems more optimistic.
