I believe most of the will do ok during a simple power outage, but
often
when the storms come the power goes out and the water comes in at the same
time, so the normal few minutes a day usage become much more than that.

But the storms won't last the entire length of a long power outage, so most
folks should be ok. Again, YMMV.
