I was thinking the same. I was on a week-long biking trip with no power. No big deal.

When in college, no one bothered to pay the electric bill and we were without power for a week or so. Candles and the acoustic guitar came out.

A radio with batteries is always going to be a good idea to have in case of an emergency. A camp stove and lots of dried ramen will keep you from starving.
