Here in urban PacNW, power outages are caused by windstorms, icestorms, and most often wind&icestorms, bringing down trees and powerlines/cablelines. The longest outage I’ve experienced in 16 years here - and only once - was power out for 4 days (internet out for a week). Most outages are only half a day or so, and those happen every other year or so. For a 3 day outage, I’d be fine with just being able to power heat (blower for gas furnace), internet, and spare me a hundred watts for laptop, phone charger, charging battery packs. Hot water would be nice (blower for gas water heater). Freezer isn’t that important to me (worst case, we and the neighbors all eat like kings for a couple weeks).

I had so many 12 gauge extensions running out of my house it looked like the floor of a a server room.
The "Sandy-Q" in my neighborhood was epic.
