Urgent.. Hurricane Caused Power Outage. Heat..?

I've posted quite a bit on here lately but this is important.

Alright well my phone is about to die and we'll probably be out of power for several days. Hurricane. My question here is will my geckos be alright for up to a week at 75f-78f overall temperature until our power is back..? I'm worried this is really going to affect my reptiles.

They'll be fine. They may not eat as much but they're very hardy. I've had geckos lost in the house for months (and in one case, years) and they've survived the ambient temperatures in a heated home in the New England winter. Stay safe!

Good to hear, I had hoped that would be all. Thanks, and we're doing our best!

Yup, like Aliza said, they'll be fine.
It's not different than a cold wave going through the area in the wild, it happens all the time.
I wouldn't feed them until the heat is back, but keep water available.

I fed them last night not too long after the power went out and I'm providing water. I'll avoid feeding them until we have power again although nothing can be done until the rain stops which is supposed to be Tuesday I believe. All the rumbling didn't seem to bother them last night and thankfully the worst is over, as it seems. My biggest concern at the moment is my snake going probably five+ days without heat. I know they'll do the same as geckos and leave for days to even a year or so in my dad's experience and come back just fine but I'm super paranoid about it.

Hopefully things go back to normal soon.
