Power out for a few hours is pretty normal here since our power line goes through an unmaintained wooded easement.
Dinner is no problem – one of our canned meals cooked on our gas range. Power outage is one reason we got the new propane range a year ago.
No power means no water, but we have emptied large detergent bottles that we have filled with water for hand washing. Plus one with fresh water for the bathroom sink at bedtime.
On cold days we use the oil lamps, on warm days we use the battery powered camping lights; to play a game together. Plus headlamps for personal use to read.
