The power didn't revive the whole day.

Hi

Are the sentences natural and do they carry the same meaning? Any other suggestions?

(Context = electricity)

After the storm, the power was not restored the whole day.

After the storm, the power did not revive the whole day.

After the storm, the power did not come the whole day.

Thanks,

Tom
