I’m in south Jersey. The entire lower part of the state is one giant sandbar not too far above sea level. It’ll be very interesting to see how we fair with this thing. We stocked up on batteries and canned and dry food. We filled a fifteen gallon tank with fresh water in case the runoff messes with our city water. No generator. We can read a book for a few days if necessary. We cleared everything out of the yard, but not much more. We’re ready to hunker down for the duration!
They put off lots of light plus quite a bit of heat. They run a long time on a tank of fuel, and the newer ones will run on unleaded gasoline.
