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

get a real small generator is your best bet,,,they power as long as you keep
them running , much better than a half hour of watching your fish slowly
die!

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.
