From my experience with regular power outages in the Seattle metropolitan area, your fridge will last 24 hours after the power goes out, if you don't open the door.

Your water heater will provide water hot enough for a quick shower for a couple days.

Sure, that doesn't sound like a stretch, though most people would find that not being able to open the fridge for many hours would cramp their style...
