In NYS, the ice storm we had in 2003 left me without power four days. I
finally wired in the generator to the furnace on day four, and wished I'd

Like you say, the staffing levels aren't very good for repairs. I would
guess most of Oklahoma is still dark.

all it takes is one multi day outage in sub zero temperatures.

remember years ago power companies had large well staffed repair
departments with lots of line crews.

what remains today is a skelton crew, and mutual aid from other areas
when things go bad

Look into a small 5000w or so Tri fuel generator, Ng, Propane and
Gasolene and a 400$ transfer switch. Converting to Propane from
electric depends on your local fuel and utility costs, I dought it
would have a good payback
