  1. yes


  2. This is an urban legend.  How soon a residence or a business gets power back is dependent on whats broke and where.  Utility companies will start in areas that can restore the most power the most quickly and work out from there.  The only business that may get preferential treatment are going to be places such as hospitals where resources are severely limited on emergency power and lots of peoples lives may be at stake.  Even this is not a guarentee though. When tropical storm Allison flooded Houston several hospitals were with out generators and with out power.  Patients had to be evacuated to other areas.
