You Go Boy, Drop That Pump

I live in this place, you do not... speak of what you know. It is a lot easier to stock and run a gas gen than natural gas here. There are no in ground lines, and where there are, most of the times service is interrupted after a storm, tree roots pull them up.

And you need power to run the pumps that pump the gas. The key is to have your own stock and run a generator sparingly. I would say most should plan for 2 to 3 weeks of no power in a worst case senerio. I live right on the coast and have no doubt that I can hold out for that long. I have a boat that holds 135 gal. That is a great resource for a generator that holds 4 gallons of gas.
