[AT] lost--generators

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Going in a different direction based on Ralph's comment about not having a 
generator.

How many on the list have a backup generator and what type of weather event 
causes you to maintain one.

I've got a really old one (isn't everything I own old!) I rebuilt the engine 
so it is reliable. We keep it in the garage in the event of an ice storm or 
a hurricane, and sometimes an occasional thunderstorm that manages to 
disrupt things for several hours in the evening (We've really got to need it 
to crank it up just for a short time).

I can not imagine going 27 days without electricity now as dependent as
this country is on it . We have been pretty fortunate as Sask. power
keeps the power flowing and I don't recall ever having more than a few
hours without electricity. I don't know of anybody that owns a generator
but no doubt there are a few out there. Some with wood heat would be ok.
My gas heater will still work without electricity and i guess with a
little help I could drag the old wood stove back into the house and hook
it up to the chimney. Still got some firewood stored out in the bin from
the wood burning days. Lets just hope the day never comes I need to do
that.
