Does anyone know if, in the event we lose power, will my Cole crops be hurt if I move them into my house?

Cole crops should take some below freezing temperatures without long term damage (exactly how cold may depend on species, variety, and growth stage; I wish I had a chart, but I don't). So if they do freeze don't panic immediately, wait till after they've thawed back out and see how they look. -- If you do have to carry them I would try to protect them from wind enroute.
