Have you ever had a hurricane approaching? You will get many hours of feeder bands (storms) coming in before the hurricane and without TV you will be without info and advisories. The coverage of comcast won't last throughout but would be much longer than DirectTV. I've been though hurricanes many times and will tell you having a TV picture is like you died and went to heaven. You wouldn't want to be without a TV picture. It's like your link to the outside world.
