However, it is entirely possible that we won’t have power overnight again. If that’s the case I’m going to suggest to RS that we spend the night in a motel. It’s supposed to be much hotter today.
I’m also going to call up my grandma and see if she has any extra freezer space. I really don’t want to lose all the meat. It’s expensive.

That's horrible, wildflowerchild! I do agree with you, though, that August 10 is likely a worst case scenario estimate. You'll surely have power well before then. When my husband called for the estimate they said today at 12 noon, but as I wrote, it was far sooner. Lights go on and it's like "Yay!!!!"
Our house was getting hot yesterday, too. I asked my husband if he thinks that was worse than when we lost power in the dead of a some nasty cold winter. It's hard to know. What is your view on this?
I'm afraid that you will surely lose some food. I think our freezers were OK, but the yogurt and milk will likely spoil quicker than usual. I did give my husband some yogurt this morning, and I tasted the milk and it was OK. I have a blender in the fridge full of banana yogurt mixture I made in order to make frozen yogurt. It smells off. I'm going to dump it all.
My sister and brother also have power again, They live near New Hope, PA, if you know where that is.
