This whole scenario is one of the things that scares me. What if it was the middle of winter and a particularly cold winter at that? If it's 40 below, and your furnace isn't running, it doesn't take that long for your house to be destroyed and that's assuming that your family finds some other place to stay warm.
For that reason, I acquired a generator, and several large gas cans full of gas, with stabilizer so I can sit on it for a few years and it'll still turn a motor over. Because I don't want to completely waste it if there's no emergency, I use it to mow the lawn and snow blow as well.
I was living in Ottawa in the summer of 2003 when the whole Pacific Northwest power grid went down. The whole climate was new to me, very very warm compared to what I'm used to, and the grid was down for quite some time. It was pretty bad in the summer, but incomparable to the winter.
