- the weather channel keeps flashing orange over the gulf again and i already know how this goes, power out for four maybe five days, fridge full of stuff we'll have to throw out, phone dying by day two... we lived through isaias and I still flinch every time the forecast guy gets that tone in his voice. maybe im overthinking it but i already packed a bag just in case and it's not even a watch yet
- Does anything let you rent a backup battery for just hurricane season instead of buying a whole setup? The Generac quote we got was insane for something we'd maybe need two weeks a year. We're renters anyway so a built in system isn't even on the table. Just want the fridge and a fan to survive a four day outage without setting ourselves back a few grand.
