re: Finally got power back after 5 days in Shreveport (This ain't happening again)

That being said, generators are a PIA. You need to run it monthly with a load for at least 15 mins to keep them reliable.

I'm a big believer in running things to keep them in good shape. I don't have power at my deer camp, so using the generator for that is an added bonus to this for me.

If everyone is out of power, gas is difficult to source.

True. Shreveport had diesel and premium only after the first day. You need to top off your vehicle and all gas cans ASAP. Luckily my boat has a 30 gallon tank on it and I don't premix, so there's another option that usually is 1/2 to 3/4 full.

I've been thinking about this a lot the last few days.
