Do you have a generator, or have access to one? Several years ago, we had an intense thunderstorm with powerful down drafts that took out trees and power lines. It was like a tornado went through our area. We were without power for almost a week. We borrowed a generator from a family member who didn't lose power, and used it to power the Fish Tank and the Refrigerator. It was a horrible experience... No stove, no hot water, no whasher/dryer... We would take turns between plugging in the Refrigerator and the Stove when we wanted to cook dinner. We would turn the generator off from time to time to save on gas, but the Fish Tank stayed plugged in as much as possible. The entire neighborhood had generators running, it was so loud outside, and most people had their windows open because AC wasn't running and it was the middle of summer. It was a constant drone of generators, and kept us up at night. Anyway, you may also be able to rent a generator from a Rental Company. I know rental places offer a huge variety of tools and such, they might have generators you can rent? Good luck! I hope it doesn't hit, or do much damage and that you don't lose power and have to worry about it.
