I’m on the border between ice and glaze. Hoping we don’t lose power. I live in the coastal plains of NC. We never installed a whole house generator as we had planned bc of getting flooded with 6 feet of river water after Hurricane Flo. A generator here would have been useless after a flood and/or during a bad hurricane. Even those in my neighborhood who didn’t flood after Flo had their gas turned off bc of the flooding and they couldn’t use their generators anyway. Our builder told us if you ever really need a generator here it would a good idea just to leave instead.

So only time. I’d thought we’d be needing one is if we have an ice storm. And those are not common here in the semi tropics. But tomorrow may be a different story.
