Yeah, but what the heck's he gonna do? Open the door to run an extension cord out to the generator in the middle of a hurricane?

Yeah, the Galveston side of Houston is all coastal Low Country, built on bayou and swamp . . . and that's where it looks like Ike will hit. They're gonna have a pretty rough weekend of it. If Ike doesn't turn as much as expected, Matagorda Bay will take the brunt instead, and we'll get it worse here . . . right now looks like it'll be 50 mph winds, 6' storm surge, and heavy rains and thunderstorms tonight through about Monday for us.

During HUGO in Charleston, I was ecstatic to have a generator. We didn't have power for 17 days

My good friend has a beach house in Galveston. I stayed there. He's up in Houston and is hoping he still has a place when he returns.

Be safe and good luck! Generators are a must if you live in a rural area (like I always have and will continue to do). We are the last to get power after a big storm. When Fran hit we had no power for over 2 weeks. Us "country folk" keep deep freezers full of produce and meat - no power makes a big mess of that... The storm hit in the middle of the tobacco curing in the barn - they sent generators from Fort Bragg to keep the fans running in the curing barns (did not help us in the house though - we had a small generator for that). Now I keep a Miller Big Blue 251D Diesel welder/generator for suck emergencies... too bad it ate a valve about a month ago [curse] just in time for hurricane season too...
