Well, it should be fine as long as the power isn't out for long. If the temps aren't below 75 degrees, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. If it's colder, then try to give your torts a warm/hot soak.

He can go for months if need be without his lights, too. Even without power, you can take him outside during the daylight hours, too.
Ok. Thanks guys! I was just freaking out! You know how it is! The love for your tortoise's can drive you mad if anything goes wrong that could possibly harm them! 
Now you know, so sit back, relax and enjoy the light show in the sky.
get some of those packets of handwarmers... good for travel and times like this...

It's either the hand warmers etc or you snuggle up and go to bed with them!

I would LOVE to do that! But my mom would never let me
Or ya know snuggle up in bed with him and wake up with a nice poop next to you and no tortoise in sight and no that hasn't happened to me I can just see Franklin doing it haha

I was thinking that!
As a mum I'd let you only because I'd be worried about the tortoise getting cold! if it pooped then you'd have to sort out that though

My mom would probably think of some other crazy (yet awsome) idea
Should I leave my Russian out in the rain? In a secure enclosure? I thought they like the rain. Heres a pic of the enclosure:

If the enclosure doesn't flood AND he has a dry area to get out of the rain, he can be left out. My Russian doesn't seem to like the rain he goes in his hut.
he goes in his hut.

Is a half log good as a hut? And it won't flood.
