[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 225758, member: 483"] I most definitely will, thank you. Generators are a norm around here when a storm comes through though. I suspect the linemen know how to handle it. Its hard to explain to people who don't live in hurricane country what it is like down here. People who can't afford cars, live in apartments, and can barely feed their kids have generators in the closet with a tank of gas ready to go. When a big storm comes though we can be out of power for a week or more. It was 2 or 3 weeks for some people after Ivan. Even little storms can knock it down for a few days. On top of that power is just very unreliable to start with here. About 3 weeks ago the entire city just shut down for the entire day, no reason why, no one knew why. Businesses closed, it was dumb. And then to fix the problem they had to shut power down for a few hours again a couple weeks later. And that is not an uncommon occurrence around here. I don't know why power is so unreliable but the generator at my dad's house turns on automatically at least once a week as a result of a power outage, sometimes for just a couple minutes, sometimes for a few hours. I actually know a guy who runs his house off generators 24/7 simply because he gets so pissed off at the power company for charging so much for such unreliable power. Anyway, I digress, but I will definitely disco the main before I screw with anything. [/QUOTE]
