That will work for his three dogs, but what about the eight cats?

Sorry to hear that HB-- have you ever looked into a whole-house genny?  Lots of people I know in Houston have gotten one over the past few years.  Not cheap, but it's better than melting your arse off.

When we had a house, I was looking at one that would just power the fridge and maybe a few lights as well.  We didn't have outages very often, and they were brief.

We have a large diesel generator here, but it only works the elevators and hall lights and the front desk.

Yeah my portable generator that I use for RV camping and tailgating can power the fridge, some lights, electronics, a couple of fans, or a space heater.  It would probably power a small portable A/C unit too.

Yes- A few people around here have them and they look very smart with that investment. I had considered it and now wish I had pulled the trigger.

Does the Governor need to declare an emergency and request FEMA assistance? Has this occurred?
Yes. Emergency declared 5 days before Helene hit. It has not expired.

Yes, with my whole house generator.

Just inquired about increasing the size of the propane tank.

I'm using my work MiFi for internet, which is sporadic until the old farts go to bed at 8PM and get off their tablets.
