Up here at Chez Gwedd, we're as prepared as we can be. I always keep a go bag for us in case we DO need to head out. I am hoping that, if we lose power, it will only be for 7-8 hours or so. We can deal with that long due to the insulation I had put into the house 2 years ago.
However, I have a heart condition where I really need to stay fairly warm. High temps aren't a problem, but very cold weather is. My plan is that if the power is out, or likely to be out, for more than 8 hours, that I'll bundle up my daughter and we'll head over to a motel or hotel. All of them around here have large generators to help their guests and keep things running.
But we have food, a sterno stove & fuel, instant coffee, and a transistor radio, plenty of candles & flashlights & batteries.
We'll be fine. Best of luck to everyone else in Mother Nature's path.
