Our local weather experts debunked this last night on the news. Some asshole put this out on social media to scare people, and it worked. What you see above is Milton.

About a week, if you run the AC and pool, use the W/D, DW, etc.

Also, something to keep in mind is that they only fill 80% to account for expansion. So, my 250 is really 200.

We were out for 3 days. We are down to 125 gallons. Did not run AC much and did not use appliances other than refrigerators.

so, you used 75 gallons in 3-days
So, 750 gallons in 30-days?
does it really lug the engine under more load when drawing more power?

the generators I used were over sized by a LOT and would just idle after start-up

The AC puts a big strain on it. You can hear it, and that's why we didn't run it much. Next time I won't run it at all.

Scenes from Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton (msn.com)

I consider us lucky.

(That and smart for not buying too close to the water. That PO'd the wife, but she is now thankful.)

Only to take the humidity out of the house before bed. Maybe an hour or two.

This post was well over two weeks ago... After Helene.

Hello Friends...

Hurricane Helene hit the west coast of Florida pretty hard and Punta Gorda was no exception. We hope that you and your family are safe and healthy.

Our restaurant, The Perfect Caper, is temporarily closed due to storm damage. We will reopen when we feel it is safe. We will keep you up-to-date right here on our website in the coming days.

We hope to reopen in approximately 2 weeks.

Thank you for your support,
Chef Jeanie & James Roland

Most generators can’t idle, even with no load. Due to them needing to generate 60 hz electricity they have to spin at 3600 RPM to get 60 cycles a second , unless they’re a 4 pole generator and they spin at 1800 rpm. What you hear is the engine loading up, not charging speeds.
