WHAT? Our 8000 watter($999 in 1999) saved us grief for nearly 2 weeks after Claudette killed power and for 2 days after a tornado took out an entire line of poles another time.
Powered: one 6000 BTU window unit in our largest bedroom, fridg, freezer, satellite, PC for internet, one box fan, three flourescent-bulbed lamps. No problems.

A must-have out here....plus about 5 ~ 10 five gallon gas cans.
