I have got by with 3K watts it was enoufh to have lights, fans and keep the refrigerator going.
I worked my way to bigger 12.5 surge 8k continuous. I can run coffee pots micro waves and a few things in my shop. I can about live a normal life other than no AC.
The P.I.T.A is fuel I converted mine to natural gas as I already have it. When a hurricane is predicted to end life on the east coast you will need 100 gals. Who wants to store 100 gal of gas if the event is a no show. As the last event was headed our way gas stations were running out of fuel they would not take a credit card. Those that had gas put a limit on what you could buy.
Hurricane Fran we were out of power for 11 days I had a old onan gen on my camper. My sister lived beside me I kept her stuff going also. During the day I would drive the camper to mom's she would have it for the day. Her neighbor talked me/her into running her freezer a few hours a day.

Make sure you have plenty of fuel to keep the grill going to cook all the food thawing out in the freezer : )
