[AT] ice storm

[Dick Day]

Oh my, I assume everyone in your family is ok?  The pictures are incredible, 
thank you for posting them.

How long can you store that much fuel, and how do you prevent it from going 
bad?

We have a Generac 7500 watt (13.5 peak).  We paid about $1400 for it several 
years ago at TSC and, other than testing it occasionally, we've never needed 
it.  Do you think it would run 18-days non-stop?

Thanks and glad you are ok.

Dick

Western KY, near Eddyville.
I was talking and working with the Elliot company, out of Roanoke, VA. And
they said 84 poles in a row were snapped over on the other road 1 mile away
from us.
It was wild, 911 would not work at all for over a week. Untill our GOV
contacted obama to get Fed assistance. Even the water was down until Feds
brought in loads of gennys. The local hospital had to close for a few days.
Their big gen layed down them. It was good I like to have 20 - 30 galons of
gas on hand
