I'm panicking...

I checked on my incubator before bed last night and it was at a perfect 82" F. Something happened overnight to the outlet and the power failed. I checked on them this AM and it was at 68' F. YIKES! I figure it would have taken awhile for the temp to drop that low, so it may not have been THAT long. I have 3 eggs incubating. I know I've been reading that below mid 70's can cause problems. Anyone have similar experience? What was the outcome?
I'm having a heart attack here.

Don't panic, there is a really good chance the eggs will have made it. I have had temps spike over 110 degrees and the eggs hatched flawlessly. Your temps are going in the other direction, but I would imagine that is even easier to survive.
