Default Won't last in a hurricane, but it may buy you some time.

About power loss to a tank... I live in Southern California, so along with
earthquakes and fires we also now have to deal with brown outs, black outs,
and power surges. The solution I found for my computers, and the one that I
will be going to for my more expensive electronics like my stereo and fish
tank, is to use Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. They normally
start out around a couple hundred dollars for a small unit that will get you
a half an hour, but if you do like I do and buy them at your local computer
show, you can get them for around $50.
