... yet!

Hope the weather will turn for the better as you wrote, it looked bad from here on monday.

Re surviving in a car, depending on engine and fuel consumption you can maybe survive 6-10 hours with engine idling, but what do you do then?
A generator is the better solution, and i am well aware of what all has to be done to install it.. as said before a wood oven, attached stirling engine for energy..
Living near a small stream can get you enough energy, but you have to install and maintain it all.
Don't make it too complicated, things can and will fail.

An oven with lots of wood, a well with a manual pump, some dried food and such should be enough for a few days. Maybe some solar panels for loading low energy devices like mobile phones, the car battery and such.
