I live in Maryland, we just got hit with a minor snow storm and power loss, I've Been outside driving around and there is a powerline or phone/ comcast lines down every 2 to 5 miles along with tree branches, so it has been about 10hrs since power outage and pepco doesn't even have an answer to when or why the power is out so I need a answer so I can keep my few corals, inverts, fish from dying? Anything other than a generator?
What to do?

Generator is your best bet. Since it doesn't appear to be an option, do you have any battery powered air pumps? You can also try to aggitate the water in your tank. Cover with a blanket to try to reduce heat loss. Do you have a source of hot water? Hope for the best, but expect to lose some life.
Another option: Are there any other hobbyists or fish stores in your area with power that you could take you most prized fish/inverts to?

Air pump is a good idea, some companies make back up batteries to run lots of things like powerheads etc.
Other than that, do you have a fireplace?

No it's day 2, almost 3 and no power, I have not been home yet due to work and staying else where than home, and a generator is the best idea that would power everything in my place to the roomates place. But we expect power by tomorrow night so I'm looking for a deal and working doubles shifts at the same time but hey what can I do, if I had an another me..... Here's 450$ go buy a 5000watt 350-400cc generator anything thing in that range will do
If you haven't been home yet, I'm sorry to say but your house probably has gotten pretty cold and I would hope for the best but plan for the worse.. All you can do now is plan for the future and buy a generator or a few battery backups.. Good luck, I hope you got lucky and everything is still ok..
