[Elecraft] OT GENERAC generators

[Richard Gillingham]

it depends where, as you say…  Here in South Florida, all gas stations are required to have backup power.  Lessons have been learned from our previous encounters with hurricanes and himacanes.

FWIW.

Replenishing gasoline that's been depleted by emergency motor 
generators  may not be as easy as going down to the local Service 
Station.  Most often if you have lost power, so have they, and not 
only will their pumps not work but neither will their cash registers 
or credit card charging systems.  The same may be true at the local 
markets and hardware stores !

I spent a day waiting for a Baja Mexico gas station to be able to 
pump, when they'd lost power.  I had to spend the night, in their 
parking lot, beside my off road motorcycle, that I was touring on .

In the N. CA earthquake of, I believe '85, we were without power at 
home for 10 days.  Fortunately the power company prioritized getting 
power again first to the hospitals and their other commercial customers,
