Stressing over my meat......yeah, strange.

I had something similar happen.
If your meat is in those airtight butcher heavy plastic wrappings, and it still felt hard to the touch, then it is fine. We're eating meat that was in the same shape a month ago and have had no problems. Not even freezer burn on those pieces.

If the meat was in grocery store wrappings, then you may have freezer burn and may want to turn that meat into pet food. Still isn't 'bad' but won't taste very good.

It's fine. If it was still partially frozen its definitly ok. Belive me its better than most anything you'll get served in a resturant. Thats from many years of resturant experience as a chef/cook. You do not want to know what some of even the highest class places do.

We had an ice storm a like 5 years ago. Electric was out 11 days. We had to get rid of all freezer food but our homeowners insurance covered all frozen food we lost. It was toward $500.00.
