Had a power outage in my area for 3 days. Power is back on, but range is completely dead. Oven, burners, clock, everything. The 240 breaker is on, it's plugged in, and the plug connection is good. Also, none of the wiring looks burned or damaged.

This range uses mechanical burner switches, so if they are also dead, it is a power supply issue. Do you have a meter to test voltage with?

Try flipping the breaker off/on.
Sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. |

You will need one to determine what the issue is but I am confident you have an issue with the power supply to the range. You can get a meter at nearly any hardware store for less than $20, in most cases. Once you have one, remove the cover from the cord connections. You will see three terminals. Test between the two outside terminals for 240 VAC. Anything different indicates power supply trouble. Let me know what you find.
