+1 God bless the linemen that get it working again.
We occasionally lose power for a few hours, in twent+ years once for three days. The long term loss was a PITA and cost about $700, much less than the price of an adequate generator not to mention the storage space and maintenance requirements for a generator.
I should point out we have a gas kitchen stove, fireplace and water heaters for a loss in winter and my truck has a 120V AC outlet that can run the coffee grinder, vital to survival.
