You might feel differently if it was 125 degree heat index, or zero degree ice storm.
I hate these threads. Every one of them seems to send me on a hunt for a generator. It grows from a small Honda, to a whole house unit.
My back yard fence neighbor paid 12 grand for a natural gas powered unit. After 10 years it had actually been needed for 12 minutes total, so the math was easy, a grand per minute, kinda pricey.
In the 25 years we have lived here, we have never been without power for long enough to be a real issue. We did have to eat ice cream for breakfast one spring, about 20 years ago when the power was out overnight, and the freezer was starting to defrost. Just after we ate the ice cream, the power came back on.
