The longest we were out in Trenton was 3 days during Superstorm Sandy. Had a freezer full of home made food. Thankfully we kept the freezer door shut and only ate canned food - we'd prepped ahead knowing what might come. Everything survived. Having a huge block of ice in a Tupperware container helped keep things cold as well.
Did candle light dinners and used a welding sparker to light the gas cooktop. Poor kitten we had just taken in was scared and literally tried climbing the walls. Other funny thing was FEDEX was still making deliveries that day - that's when I got the iMac that's in my profile page. We were his last delivery as he'd just gotten a call to return to his depot.
