This is why I moved to town.
And yes the wind is a cokcsucker. Did you get any moisture to hang on the power lines or did it blow a pole over or something? If you have NG service, dad installed a gas wall heater in the basement to provide heat if out for a long time. Grandpa talked about in the depression, they'd cook bricks over a fire (wood fire stove in their case), and put them in the beds to keep warm. Keep the fridges closed and they'll keep food for a long time. When you open the door all the cold rushes out. Don't get wet. I know it's appealing to go scoop the sidewalk or whatever, but it takes a LOT of heat to get you warmed back up if you manage to get wet. |

Been thru 4 hurricanes since we moved here in 2016...only lost power one time for 2 hours and that was because they had to shut down the substation right next to our neighborhood to make repairs on the lines from another neighborhood that fed into the same substation. But we still do fill all 3 bathtubs for extra water for the little things. |

I just bought a small solar generator for exactly this reason. I can't run the whole house off of it, but I can charge phones and get light and run a microwave (I think). Heat would be my only problem.
I haven't tested out the solar charger yet, but I've tested the storage battery after charging it up in an outlet.
