<br />A generator is definitely a great idea. My roommate had one during hurricane Charlie in Florida, and boy did it come in handy. It wasn't strong enough for AC, but we had power for fans, lights, and the fridge...lol<br /><br />You really appreciate all the mondern comforts when you don't have them, especially the AC...

About 20 minutes ago, the world around me sprang to life again, with real working light bulbs and appliances and air conditioners. After being without power for two days, one feels a leap of joy when suddenly your world is re-energized.

Thank God I invested in a generator this year. Despite the noise level and incredible annoyance of dealing with a maze of extension cords of every variety, I must say that the new generator saved the day.
