Flyer is right, you can never be overprepared for these things.FGS glad to hear you and youren made it through ok, we got some wind, a few trees down in the area and lost power for about 60 hours but we never lost phones so still had internet and FR. We also purchased a small window unit for the two back rooms, worked like a charm.The downside is you had to sleep through the sound of the generator in the background but I was thankful for it as I know you was for yours.

Yes indeedy. Since this generator has run pretty much 24/7 since starting it up, the noise almost fades into the background after a while. The cost to operate it is something else again. I had considered shutting it down tonight since we're supposed to see around 60 for a low, but I retrieved some perishables from my folks'(who hotfooted it to Lake Texoma) freezer and put it in mine. They had packed it in pretty well and it was still frozen for the most part. That brisket smells a little gamey, but what the hey, cook anything long enough.....
