Please be thankful for my neighbors which have left there homes and familys to assist you during this time.

Here in Pensacola everyone has some type of Genny. I have a 5550 portable, with a transfer switch at my breaker panel. I purchase 75 gallons of gasoline, and keep it in a specialy built shed, in 5 gallons cans. It will burn 5 gallons in 12 hours. Now I can not run everything, but I sure as Heck can run most things. We have two small window air conditioners 6000 btu for cooling the important rooms in the house. A small ceramic heaters to heat, which is hardly ever needed here. But, it does run 220 volt, therefore, the pool can be cleaned and ran, the irrigation well can be used for water. We can have lights everywhere, and run the two refrigerators, and freezer. Therefore, I can run for 7.5 days, completely off grid. At the end of "H" season, I simply burn the gas off in my car. Hope you guys are getting along with each other.
