Inland NW wind storms took out hundreds of trees and power lines Tuesday. Lucky we have a gas stove. 3 people dead, smashed cars and roofs all over town.
Only internet for us is 3g on my IP4. I will never take electricity for granted again.

If needed, a UPS will have enough power to run a coffee grinder...
Good luck!

Bad storm if it killed three! That is a long time to not have power restored! If localized, I might rent a hotel room where there is power. Where is, "Inland NW?"

Stay safe ! A stove isn't really a good source of heat .. CO and possible fire is a problem !

I have a gas stove and manual coffee grinder. I should be OK.
Thought of this technique while holding a hammer and contemplating mayhem on coffee beans wrapped in a dish towel. Manual grinder is a good idea.
