Non-hurricane everyday tip: Put a 1/3 to 1/2 full water bottle in your freezer upside down. Once it’s frozen keep it in the freezer right side up so that the ice is suspended in the top of the bottle. If you ever open your freezer and see the ice back in the bottom of the bottle it means your freezer has lost power long enough to thaw, and you may need to throw some food out.
I’ve personally found this tip to be extremely handy.

Used to do this with our big chest freezer. It’s a good tip. High five!
Also works to put a penny on the surface of a frozen container. The indicator is if the penny is in the ice, instead of on the ice.
But anyway, I like your suggestion.
