I live in a racially mixed suburban neighborhood on Long Island NY. I am well prepped with food, water and defense. However no generator. I'm skeptical about getting a whole house gas powered one ($$$) or smaller gas or diesel to power fridge and freezer only because the noise would make us a target. Any ideas?

I picked up one of those low noise generators that provides 2,300-Watts. This is enough to power the surge of a refrigerator (approx. 1000 watts) when the compressor kicks on. The thing is extremely quite and lightweight. It ran me around $700.
Be sure to get heavy duty extensions cords if you do not have them. Also, you will want to figure out a way to run the cord(s) into the house without having the generator fumes enter the home. A pool noddle works well as a sealant.
