well if it came to a survivalist kind of thing, i guess i could try to turn it on, but just not for recreational grilling. the thing is, if it is going to hit, i want it to hit to PREVENT xshub from leaving on his biz trip. i just don't want to be in the position of dealing with a catastrophe of some sort (tree smashing house) by myself with the kids.

I don't blame you-I wouldn't either. Is there not some way he can be persuaded to postpone the trip until the hurricane blows in someplace?
