First, I check the lower power company's website for an estimate of when the power will come back on. If no one reported the outage, I'll take a few minutes to do so. We usually have the battery powered lights out during a storm, if it's a surpise outage, I go fetch the lights.
If the outage is going to be longer than 6 hours, I go buy some gas for the generator. I pour what isn't used during the outage into the car's fuel tank.
I use an rss reader on my phone with a lot of saved articles. I try to get through some of those.
When it to stops raining or snowing I pull the genny out of the shed, fuel it, get it running. Next, I run a few extension cords for the fridge and freezer.
