i ended up with 5500 watt Briggs and Straton i found at the last minute. I was able to run the frig, tv, lights and a window unit with no problem. i'll second the suggestion on a breaker bypass switch - otherwise be sure you have several extension cords and power strips.
Also - get enough gas cans to store at least 30 gallons. You'll burn 10 - 15 gallons a day and gas will hard to get for a while.
