Default Power outages.......

It may have come accross as sounding like a person is irresponsible if
they lived in the miami or any storm prone reigon and did not not
have a gen set, but thats not the way it was intended....Its just as
cheap and common as they are anymore and just having one in such an
area that is prone to storms etc where power can be out for long hours
or days or weeks, they sure can make the difference in living ease,
from a couple of different points of voiew, be it just to keep food
cold and have a cold drink or a cup of hot coffee or ability to use a
hot plate or micro wave to cook an egg or two and of course power up
a aquarium can really help a person beat the blues, when there is
absolutely no way to keep cold drinks or hot items etc ...Been there
done that already......Just the ability to turn on a light makes a big
difference in power outage times.....Fuel is not usually a problem as
much as some would beieve either....During hurricane Fredrick, gen
sets were pretty well needed as power was out for over a month, and no
gas stations could pump gas, but it was easy as pie to acquire fuel.
Same thing with David and Ivan and a few other major storms.
