Forgot to add, I was living in Virginia during the June 2012 derecho blew through during a period of 100 degree weather (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2012_North_American_derecho https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2012_North_American_derec...). I was without power for an entire week - even in a nice subdivision with buried power lines, in a city of 100K+ people. UPS won't help for that, but it did automatically shut down the NAS and kept my modem/wireless router going for a few hours. Bought a 2,000 watt inverter generator for a few hundred dollars. If you have somewhere to store it, highly recommend purchasing one. Extremely quiet (~50db), sips gas (1 gallon/12 hours), and enough power to keep a fridge, small window AC, and lights going. Even managed to run the dishwasher. https://wenproducts.com/collections/inverter-generators/products/wen-2000-watt-inverter-generator-56200i https://wenproducts.com/collections/inverter-generators/prod....
