All wind at my house, lost a couple of limbs. Must have been over 50 but not a drop of rain.
they have power in West Virginia??? did not know that, lol I thought they had to pipe in sunshine, lol
Just kidding.....I hope he gets his power back soon. I remember the big ice storm here and we were without power or water for two weeks. Was not fun but we made do.
He has a generator, but can't buy gas anywhere...

Cant tell ya how much fuel and generators I hauled after Katrina and then again after the tornado that tore up Kemper county last year. Took cash to my folks as well cause there werent no way to get any cash for over a week.
Remember it well. Was some major damage around here. Don't care to ever see that again!Quote:

1/8" rain, if that much. Some wind damage. I'll check it all out after I finish picking beans this morning.
Folks don't think about that!!! You can convert over to propane for about $100.Quote:

"Propane won't go bad"
I've got a piece of a 20 lb. tank that I can't cook with in the house. It has a strong odor.
Hmmmm, you sure you don't have something else going on with it? We have a 500 pound bottle on a farm that we just use in a hunting cabin. That propanes been in there since 1968.Quote:

Several companies sell these kits as do most propane supply stores. The reason I prefer propane is it stores forever unlike gasoline or diesel. Plus, if there is ever a BIG disaster ie earthquake, flood, alien invasion, ect that disrupts natural gas delivery and gasoline supplies, you can still function as long as you have propane. I figured I could run my entire house on a 1000 pound tank for at least 33 days without any outside assistance.Quote:

Thanks for the link but it's still Greek to me. I have a Troy Built 8500 with a Briggs & Stratton, I'll just have to hire the conversion out but it makes sense to do it because of the reasons mentioned, especially the availability of gas in an emergency/natural disaster situation. Thanks again.Quote:

This is exactly the reason I was talking about for switching your generator over to propane.:twocents
I'm glad you brought this back up. I will get this done now for sure. Thanks Chris.Quote:
