Power off is not an issue, just pick up at the next cycle, transplant away. 60* is a bit cool but they can take 28*F and live.
 
Well I feel silly now but thanks for the reply I think I just overreacted after reading SO many guides warning of stress and shock from abrupt temperature and light fluctuations
 
No worries.
Where I live, it's not uncommon for me to have outages from weather events.
The only thing that creates issues for me is that I run RDWC and need circulation to keep the solution oxygenated.
I do have a portable generator for basic needs, but it isn't powerful enough to run my lighting as well as the home, so I will turn off the lights until normal power is restored.
Like Rwise mentioned, as long as they don't freeze it'll be fine.
