First Power Outage...
 

....of the winter season. Not snowing, not raining, not sleeting, not
even very cold. Off now for 23 minutes. Maybe someone hit a power pole
on the main drag... Generator kicked on.

Well, its nice that you have the generator as a backup. I use my Honda EU2000i whenever my power goes out. It will run what I need to keep running. Living in a condo so no way to put up a permanent generator. If I ever get another house I will get a fixed permanent generator.

That will be my next generator, even though I live in a house. I may
go for the 'sister' also. Then I could put the trailer in the drive
and have enough power to live for months if need be.

Well Don, that's an idea too, but the thread was about power outages.
I can understand how you could be a bit confused.

If you have a widespread outage, fuel supply becomes an issue very
quickly. We were running on a small Honda generator for 10 days after
hurricane Charlie in 2004, sharing power with a neighbor. He and I
were taking turns driving 40 miles round trip every night to find gas
stations that could still pump fuel. A large underground propane tank
is probably the best bet for most homeowners.

Power was out for an hour...I didn't investigate but I suspect tree
limbs falling on a power line.

You're right, of course. We've been very lucky here, and I thank my
lucky stars for Dominion Power. We've been here close to 25 years and
I don't think our power has ever been out for more than 4-6 hours. And
that happened only when an underground (in my front yard) transformer
blew. I thought it was a 105mm round going off.

That trailer would be cheaper than sending him to an "Assisted Living
Center" for Alzheimer's patients, which is where he belongs.
