About to lose power, what should I do?

Quick question you guys...
I'm in FL about to get hammered by category 4 hurricane matthew, and losing power for days is a guarantee.. I have 2 quart jars of rye that are a cunthair away from being fully colonized..
Now when we lose power and a/c, the house is going to be a toasty 85-88 degrees after the storm.. I'm not sure if I should leave the jars be, or go ahead and spawn to trays.. Can the spawned trays colonize in these temps?
My other option is to keep the rye in the jars.. Would temps that high toast my jars? I could also put the jars in an iced down cooler that we will be using for food.. Would this keep the jars too cold?
Just struggling on what to do here.. We're about to have big problems in a matter of hours but if I can save this grow I would really like to.. Any help is much appreciated..

I don't have anything to say about helping you with your problem, but...
You sure it's wise to give out your location so freely?

Do not spawn your uncolonized grain to bulk, you're guaranteed to fail. They can colonize at those temps but, the nasties like those temps. They won't toast. They will grow faster. Don't cold shock them either.
Chances are the high winds will cool the air around the house and it won't be as hot inside.
If you do anything other than leave them be until they are 100%, your gonna kill the grow.
I know you want other people's opinions so just wait and see what others say when they weigh in.

I wouldn't touch em. If they're pretty much fully colonized then they should be free of contams. Leave them in the jars for a few days till you have the environment suitable for spawning then crack em open and setup your grow.

If your windows are boarded or shuttered closed you could crack the window in an unoccupied room to cool it as well. If you have a sunroom or screened porch and a card board box you could put them outside in the box for cooler temps too. Use the wind to help?

I'd just leave them alone, they'll be fine for a few days. It's cubensis after all.

no, they won't. posting a city isn't that bad, who even knows if you're telling the truth anyway? There's a lot of people in my city.
I know I'm not that important anyway.

Doubtful, but I just personally find it disturbing thousands of people knowing my location, even if they don't know who I am. Google rules the earth

I was on an island in florida during the last major hurricane that hit the east coast, and my drunk ass was on the beach staring at the chaos that used to be an ocean, 40-foot waves and wind blowing so hard the fucking sand was shredding my clothes, and I lived. Your jars will be alright.

I think this is bad advice.

That's fine. The guy is buggin because of the storm. I told him a few times not to worry,open, or do any thing drastic with his uncolonized jars.
It wasn't advice per say, but mere alternatives to freaking out about a couple of days of elevated temperature.
Besides, cracking a window during a hurricane or storm does nothing but alleviate the pressure differential and would aid in helping windows that aren't boarded or shuttered from shattering. Jars outside in the wind is a little more risky.

Yea the risk of failure would be much higher if you open an unfinished jar as opposed to leaving them be in elevated temps.
