There are no two windows opposite each other for some cross ventilation. Add the fact that the row of houses behind me were on a different circuit. So when the power on my street failed, I sat in the heat and watched the lights working in the houses behind me. I also wondered what would happen if all the food in my upright freezer would thaw and re-freeze while I was on the road. I started by putting a plastic glass of water in the freezer and putting a quarter on top of the ice so that I would at least know not to eat anything if the quarter was on the bottom of the cup. But that's still a lot of spoiled food.
So I bit the bullet and had a whole house generator installed that was powered by underground natural gas, and had an automatic switch installed that kept my critical circuits powered.
The power still goes off from time to time, although not nearly as often. But
I admit that I smile just a little when that quarter is in the bottom of the cup when I come home from a trip and my digital clocks are blinking. :)
