Chicago tied its record of three straight days at 100°F or above from July 4 to July 6, 2012, with highs of 102°F, 103°F and 103°F.

All of Chicago

Tower living

A tower's generator usually carries the elevators, the stair lights and the pumps rather than the apartments, so a freezer on a high floor warms like any other in an outage, and the plan is to keep it shut and know where a cooler and bagged ice can be found.

Apartments and small homes

A chest freezer wedged between shelves or under a counter loses its cooling through the sides, since many chest models shed their heat through tubing inside the outer walls, so a few inches of open air on every side is part of the repair.

Older housing stock

Older houses put the freezer wherever there was room, often a cellar with a floor that slopes toward a drain, and a cabinet standing out of level holds its door slightly open at one corner, a ridge of frost along that edge being the first sign.
