Glad you're OK! Thanks for the report.
Two things I have done since the tsunami scares and power outages are to be sure I do have a cell phone charger in the car so I can go out and plug it in to make a call if need be.
Second I bought a Mophie case for my phone, so there is a bunch of reserve power stored in the case that I can draw on if I let the phone run down.
Third we have a back up battery for one computer, which can run the computer and charge a phone, that lasts a while ... and the computer of course has a Skype account (although no good if the internet goes down separately from the power).
Not that 5 hours without a phone call is a bad thing, but it's not desirable when there's an emergency situation either.
