Got it running, extension cords running to everything and fired it up. Glorious heat, television, internet. I was a happy man.
Three hours later the electricity came back on.

How do generators work in terms of powering things up? Do they somehow hook into your breaker box, or do you run extension cords from plug-ins in the generator itself? And how much stuff can you power? I'm a complete novice at generators, but I keep thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one.
