Barely long enough for you to drive a couple hours west to purchase a generator or kW inverter.
Seriously, expect to toss all freezer contents and anything with meat from the fridge after a day. Also anything that might have come in contact with meat juice in said refrigerator. Of course it will vary somewhat with a more efficient refrigerator, but not as much as you'd hope. If you have other insurance action you could probably add the food to the claim. I bought a generator last season only for the occasional local power outages. We have lost a lot of food over the years.
