As much as I’d like to see you scattered, smothered & covered, there’s a local eatery I’ll take you to when you get here. Support independent restaurateurs. 👍🏼

Lightning smokes on the hillrise
Brought the man with the warning light
Shouting loud you had better fly
While the darkness can help you hide
Trouble's comin' without control
No one's stayin' that's got a hope
Hurricane at the very least
In the words of the gypsy queen

Lulz. I explained about having generators to plug in my refrigerator to save my 40 pounds of fish, and 15 gallons of gas, gas for the grill, cash, plenty of both kinds of water. Blah blah blah, but deleted it because I didn't want to bore anyone with all that.

You have natural gas, yes? You should investigate natural gas generators. Generac, Cummins, Kohler are some brands. There are a number of comparative reviews online. You can look for a portable unit using whatever fuel is available for immediate use, and consider investing in a natural gas unit for future use, limited circuit or whole house. There will be opportunities to sell/donate/gift your portable after the natural gas unit is installed.

What we did after going 6 days with outpower two years ago is install a generator inlet box and a interlock switch. Total cost to install myself was about 150 bucks. Tohavean electrician in Florida estimates were 700-1000 dollars. I can run the whole house including AC. Well dryer, stove, and AC bog it down. We use propane and get 3 days on a tank of propane running it only a night. We have the one thatwill run on propane, NG, or gas. We chose to primarily run on propane because it doesn't go bad and doesn't mess with the carb. Then we will get some gasoline just in case a couple days prior to storm.

I just hope that it's not so bad and that the mess that's going to happen here doesn't hinder what's happening up in NC and E TN. that bad. One good thing for us is that the state and local gov and residents have a lot of practice dealing with this. But it is still mother nature.

Thanks, I appreciate it, but I'm not staying because of nowhere to go. I could go to dad's or my brothers, or a friend in Jupiter. I'm good here.

There's some older church people that aren't in the evacuation zone but they will lose power and possibly water. I like to stay close.

BTW @joevol33 Mrs Foster just lost her 4th child yesterday, another daughter. Cancer. She's turning 91 soon. She's lost 3 daughters and a son. I didn't realize she has/had 9 children. I thought she just had the three daughters.
