Not weird to me. We have lots of violent storms, and hence a fair number of blackouts. ;)
The candles in my house (really just extras from decorating, etc) are in a kitchen drawer. In my parents' house, in a drawer of the china cabinet or under the sink. Of course, we also have a fair number of useable oil lamps about (for decoration, but also functional for reenacting and blackouts), so the biggest scramble when the power does go out is not for candles, but for matches!
