We had four MILLION people without power when Hurricane Yikes hit three
years ago, some as long as two weeks.

The ghastly thing was that gas stations were ALSO without power, so there
was no way to get generator food.

So here's the tip: When you get advance notice of a weather emergency, fill
up all your gas cans (I have ten, 6-gallon containers and a half-dozen
smaller ones).


Better tip: When you get advanced notice of a weather emergency, fill your
tank's car and drive to anyhere else.

You can always dump the gas in the car if you don't need it for the
generator.


You can always call it a vacation.
