5000 Watts

My generator earns its keep tonight.

Got a full tank, and another 20 gallons...as well as a full tank in the truck I can siphon if need be.

Oddly, my Internet and Cable TV has stayed up...but I'm the only one on the block with lights at this point...

They'll be heading to your house like zombies.

No shit. Back in FL, if you had a generator running after a storm knocked out everything, you'd better keep a close eye on it or it would grow legs and walk off.

We fared well. The lights blinked twice and that was it. I did get some looks of envy when I was testing the generator on Saturday.

My neighbors know I am well armed so they stay clear of my stuff.

Cable and phone are underground so they don't usually die unless things get bad.

Not in Jersey, they're not. If it even hints of rain, everything's usually out.

Power's been in and out, so I'm just staying on generator, and avoiding the surges.

Power's back, things seem to have settled a bit...I may be speaking too soon, and get hit with the backside...but we'll see...so far, so good.

Any flooding issues out your way, heard on my way to work a few of the rivers will be overflowing.
