I feel your wife is worrying about thinks she can not control or that are to cost prohibitive.
About like saying every driver needs 2 cars for the day one is broke down and in shop. How many days has the water been off in either of your life times??
Water is one of the last utilities you lose during a storm. And while you may need to boil it for use it is one of the first to come back on. A storm usually does not damage the pipe line because it is in the ground but rather the pumping station. Since this is a community water supply it is top priority after the storm. Now on the other hand how long do you think 70 gallons is going to last. Yes it will last a while for drinking but you need to flush the toilet and I am sorry after a week or so with no electricity or A/C I need a bath. Most usually keep old milk jugs filled with water and fill bath tubs when a storm is coming.
If you are in a major disaster where the water is off a week or more the national guard will be trucking in water any way. If you have to have the tank you do not need to mount it above the house. Put a faucet on the bottom of the tank and draw it straight from the tank after a storm instead of trying to force it in the house plumbing. Make sure you have a check valve so your tank of water does not back feed into the street pipes when the pressure goes out.
