We have had that happen around here. People without power put the generator outside, start it up, and go back inside while it is running. Thieves on the street drive by, hear it running, back up to it, load it up while still running, and pull the plug as they drive off so nobody realizes they are there till they are headed down the road. Takes nerves, but during a power outage, people will pay dearly for a generator, especially if the one they had wouldn't start and nobody is available to fix it.

The wife and I here are still roughing it out. We have been 6 days without power and water. I filled all 3 tubs just so we would have water to flush toilets with. We got hit harder here being close to the lake and higher in altitude. I have lost maybe 50% of my trees on the property (5.5 acres) I have a pretty big generator running the homes heater, frig and deep freeze, lights and computers.

Pics 2 & 3 are of my place. Pics 4 & 5 are from in town.
