They wil be a bit stressed and maybe even have some minor leaf damage. Does it freeze where you are? If so, you might be in a bit of trouble should they get close to freezing in the dark for a few days. However, if you have a reasonable temp, I think you will likely be fine.
If you could get them in front of your house and turn the car's headlights on overnight that might work too
I did this some years ago. I didn't put them in my yard, but I did move them to the front of the garage and opened the door. We live on a completely fenced property in the middle of nowhere, so privacy wasn't an issue. I parked our two cars so that the headlights were shining directly on the plants. I ran each of the two cars for about 30-minutes on and 30-off with the lights on both of them all night. I'll never forget that crazy weekend.
In other words, think outside the box if you need to.
If noise/neighbors are not an issue and you are in the uSA then get to Costco and buy a generator. They will take it back when you are done with it. They have a fantastic return policy.

there's a lot of growers that put their plants in for extended dark periods before switching to flower just go to 12/12 when the lights come back on and hope they didn't get to stressed during their lights out time, i.e from being moved, under powered lights, and temp drops. if you can avoid stressing them and insure their dark period remains dark then with a bit of luck you should be fine mate

Hurricane knocked my power out for 6 days a few years back. I used big flashlights the first few days and ran a generator the last 3 days for 3-4 hours a day. Flowering suffers more than veg but everything made it.

You'll be fine. does the room you have them in get any natural light? if not i'd try to put them in one, preferbley in front of a window. If its safe to do so of course. They will probally stretch a bit, but it will be fine, dont freak out about nothing. This isnt a real big deal.
