We had a hurricane hit town a year and a half ago. No power for 3days-2months for some people in one of the 5 largest cities in this nation.
We were told to have supplies on hand. Some even had to get generators to have limited power.
It’s difficult to plan for hurricane season 2 days out.
One of the deals is though AFTER one of these weather episodes (like a week to a month) hit the local pawn shops.
You WILL find a generator there, and can probably get it on the cheap!
(just make sure it runs)
