Incubator was off for a few hours

I had a power outage for 3 hours today. Not only did I have 6 day incubating eggs but 30ish chicks in my basement. Thankfully I have a wood stove that kept the ambient air above 90. I saw a few developing a few days ago so I hope this is just a minor set back!
 
What ever happened to the eggs? Did any of them make it? I just had that problem with my duck eggs. When I woke this morning my incubator was unplugged and I had a separate temperature and humidity gauge inside measure 80° F.
 
It's a seven year old post so we'll never know. My power went out last night with 30 eggs in the incubator.. for how long and what did the temp drop to? By 4:30am everything was normal.
