A day. A tropical storm went through and knocked out not only power to the area, but it knocked out the water station as well. So we were without water for about 24 hours. That was more difficult than going without the electricity. The power went back on before the water did.

Luckily only three days following Hurricane Juan in September 2003. Others in the area were without power for up to three weeks.
Actual time without electricity was just overnight. I powered up the generator each morning, and shut it off at bed time.

About 5 days. At the time we lived in a remote area and the power lines went down... took a while for workers to get out there and fix it, as it was low priority.

The longest I ever went without power was 6 months - backpacking round Europe.
Best times for my life.

Almost an entire week in Seattle recently. It sucked. And it was cold! The windstorms there knocked a bunch of the cities power out.
