Thanks for everybody's well wishes. Fortunately we were not hit hard, just an overnight power outage. I hope that others still affected by the storm are able to get back to normal soon.
Here is a pic of my setup:

The setup is basically as described earlier in this thread. Inverter positive connected to 12V battery positive through a 150A circuit breaker. Inverter negative connected to an empty hole on the chassis of the DC-DC converter. I used 2 AWG cables. Additional information and precautions are listed in this blog post.
The local media caught wind of this and aired this story on the local nightly news.
Thanks to everyone on this thread for raising and refining this idea, and especially to Phil for providing output specs on the converter!
