I had a tennis buddy who lost power for a week due to Opal. North Atlanta suburb.
We were 3 days with no grid power and then 3 days with off and on power. That episode taught us several things:
Generators use a lot more fuel than we knew.
Even quiet, well-muffled generators annoy you acoustic wise
We would be better off with solar power.
Took me 2 years and a lot of learning, but we put solar on the house last fall and are glad we did.
