Oh, yeah, I was so wrapped in thinking about how terrified I feel just before and during a rough storm or hurricane, I didn't even think about the power outage part. That soooo sucks, too. I've never had a generator. Many times, I've been stuck with no power in the winter due to ice and wind, and then in thunderstorm/hurricane season. The longest in the summer was 14 days, and temps were in the upper 90's. In the winter, the longest was 7 days, with temps near or below freezing. I have anxiety right now remembering all of those times....
