My electricity was out 9 hours should I throw my freezer stuff out?

So the other day we had tornado's come through our area over and over, our electricity went out for about 9 hours, tonight I had some boneless skinless chicken breast pulled out to cook but I went to cut it up and it smelled off so I tossed it out. I guess my question might be sort of silly, but should I just throw everything in my freezer out? I've never had to deal with something like this so sorry if it's sort of a "duh" question, I'm just really sad if I have to toss it all, I'd just gotten a lot of good meat and it's horrible looking at it and thinking I need to just flush all that money down the toilet.
