Nope Have a back up or two. Our boiler is natural gas but without electricity it doesn't run. We have a fireplace and plenty of wood. If all would fail here I would shut the water off, drain it and go visit my MIL across the state. (if she has juice) On the farm, her generator is probably running for the cattle. A back up generator would be a good bet and not a small one that will just keep your frig cold. LOL
