Can you believe this? Oh, well my laptop still works....LOL...

I figure my all my fish SHOULD make it. I have a battery 'backup'
pump so the water is being move somewhat.......

If you have a canister filter, I'd dump it, and float the media in the tank
if the outage last more than a couple hours. I don't know how long it takes,
but they can go anerobic, dumping poison into the tank when power returns.
The bacteria in your filter media can die from lack of ammonia to eat as
well.
Good job having the battery op pumps.

I take it you live in the NE US? Loks pretty bad, though that may just be
media hype.
