When we were left to freeze to death in greg abbott's Texas a few years ago with no power in subzero temps for days on end this was one of the first things I bought when the lights came back on.
Thankfully we had a cheap alarm clock that was usb powered during the freeze. We had some spare portable usb battery chargers and we would plug it in and tune into the local public broadcasting station. It was literally a lifeline. We had to meter it out to only plug in for a few minutes because we didn't know how long those batteries had to hold out.
Get one for you, and get some for gifts. Everyone deserves to have a connection to the outside when they're unexpectedly trapped.
