I was thinking of a generator and you guys gave me the good advice to go speak to my neighbors (which isn't easy since I barely ever see them), but finally had a conversation with the guy next door and he said he can't recall ever having an issue in 25 years, even in last winter's storms.
Then in the wind/rain storm a couple of weeks ago we lost power for like 10 seconds... I still feel like its a good thing to have though in the worst case. I have a wood burning fireplace which would keep the family warm, but it won't stop the pipes from freezing in the rest of the house I guess.
