Interesting replies. We live in a huricane zone, but only have a 6500 watt portable. When Dolly came through a few years ago we lost power for nearly a week. I would run it now and then to keep the freezer and fridge cool. Also to fire up the well pump so we could shower or flush a toilet as needed (filled a few buckets each time to leave nearby to flush with). We were working every day cutting trees that fell and to cool down after working we would hop in the truck and fire it up for a half hour or so, and also to charge up the cell phones at the same time. We still have the same generator and I don't plan to do anything different in the future. Worked fine for us since we really didn't need all the creature comforts we thought we needed. BTW, we have AEP and the service is great through them versus what we had before. We had many power outages for no reason before, but AEP came through asking permission to remove trees near their lines, and if permission wasn't given they simply trimmed them away from the lines. I gave permission to remove 3 palm trees that were taller than the power lines. The following week the folks they contracted arrived and removed them down to the ground, and hauled everything off. I had planned to hire someone to do this one day eventually, cost would have been about 4 to 5 hundred dollars. I have nothing to complain about. Neighbor had 7 trees about the same size as mine removed free too. The pics below is the last tree removed. It was about 2 feet from the powerline and sat between the fence and the ditch which is 3 feet deep. .
