I still have power, no issues yet... Sounds like it could still get worse.
At this point heat and circulation are important. Wrapping the tank with a heavy blanket will help hold heat. Do you have any battery air pumps to circulate water?

My power is fine but I just had to salvage one of my tank's sump pumps and put it down in the crawl space as we have about 4" of water under the house and I don't have a "home" sump pump...
Just wrap the tank with some blankets, don't feed, and they should be fine. I had a few tanks last 4 days without power. Just bundle them up and leave them alone.

If you have a gas grill with propane, you can always heat water. Put the heated water in a plastic bottle and place the bottle in the tank. The bottle will act as a heater.
Super great advice. Way to be resourceful. I'd want you with me on a dangerous hike or expedition.
Thats what we have done in the military lol never thought of doing that in a fish tank tho

I've had to use a generator at one point during a 72hr outage here in alaska. But it was a small one so i had to juggle the tanks for a few hours at a time just to get the water circulated and bring the temps up. It worked great for me. Good luck.
On the farm my mom used to put bricks in the oven and heat them up and then put them in the bed to keep the kids warm overnight. We used to take smooth river rocks and do that when camping. It may be another option to look at.
