We’ve got a trace of water in the basement because I think we lost power earlier and the sump pump went out. If it goes again we’ll have to get a generator.
We’ve got lots of bottled water and I can’t see any risk of a real flood here. We’re way far from the river and a good ways from the nearest creek too.
Just a post-Isabel thought. If you can swing it, get the generator now...I’m just sayin’...
I’ll second Corin’s suggestion about getting a Generator now. They’re likely to be all sold out, when you end up needing one right away. If you can swing a 12K watt model, you could run the whole house, A/C and all. We have a Guardian model that can use either Nat. Gas or Propane. We had a coupon from HD year before last, so we took advantange of that. Of course, it’s sitting in SirKit’s brother’s garage in MS right now, but we don’t really need one up here; we don’t have power outages often enough for it to matter. I’m sure we’ll be needing it more when we move South.
