Is a generator common in LA? I understand hurricane potential but, other than that, is power that spotty?


More common than you would expect. It really depends on the area you live in. Most of the state still has above ground lines and some areas are always losing power with storms.

I have a good friend who lives a little west of Baton Rouge who built a house right after hurricane Gustav(sp). I think he spent $5K on a generator and to this day has never had to use it.

That is like being single and carrying a condom in your wallet.

We don't have hurricane issues but do have ice storms.

I thought of getting a generator 10 years ago. I'm glad I didn't since it would not have been used yet.
