It's probably hard to find a flight out of Florida when you're carrying 12 drawers of Gemma's socks and underthings with you.

He probably ran to Chicago 2 weeks ago.

I doubt that, I here it is pretty crazy there, he might get shot if he visited up there.

He probably has a guest (test) house full of Brivium tie down straps too, that he's already forgotten about! lol

The curios wants to know how much electricity he normally uses to make this this a more reliable estimate on how much fuel he needs. There is a LOT of difference in consumption between it lasting days and/or weeks. "Days" normally indicates a period LESS than a week. Also hopefully he's smart enough to realize that how much electricity he has, and how much of charge his phones have do not mean diddly if the cellular infrastructure is damaged (which would be typical in a major disaster like a hurricane/tornado/earthquake). All it takes is a few towers being taken offline, or a major trunk taken out and it's pretty much shot.

Surprised the good doctor (degree from mexico) doesn't have a natural gas generator, who the hell wants to worry about running out of fuel or making sure it is full/conditioned/etc.

 

Cheap bastard! Generac ftw!

Even the natural gas lines can be compromised during such a disaster. Having a Generac Bi-Fuel generator is the way to go.

doesn't have a natural gas generator

LPG generators have their own issues... if you are talking about TRUE natural gas instead of LPG then they are at the mercy of the utility infrastructure. If there is a major break in the line, you will lose your fuel supply.

Diesel is one of the best for long term generator use. More bang for the buck in how long your fuel will last and the efficiency of the use of it.

LPG struggles in cold weather due to the very nature of the fuel. The added benefit of diesel is it can also be used to run other equipment that may be needed in time of disaster.

I wonder how my house stays warm in the winter then. My LPG heated home does just fine in the winter. I have to get it filled half way through the winter, in bad winters have to fill it twice, and it doesn't seem to be a problem for the delivery truck to get it here and pump it to my tank.

Don't different types of diesel fuel gel up in cold weather?

Yes, true natural gas, they tapped off the line into my house for the generator. I've never had a natural gas outage in over 15 houses across various states in my life time.

Has to get REALLY cold for diesel to gel... and normal "treatment" of the fuel for longevity resolves many of those issues. Also typically a diesel powered system has a "fuel heater" built into it.

Propane in Cold Weather

The colder it gets, the less effective propane is - just the very nature of the product itself. I know many times when out in the RV once the temps got down to around 20-30° outside the propane lost it's ability to flow (tanks froze) and you had to rely on the electric heaters. It takes a bit longer to happen with 500+ gallon tanks, but they also have similar issues.

Can't remember the time I've had a gas outage, wait, never.

I've actually sat through 2 of them. One was a result of a tornado (back in the 80's) and the other was a result of a backhoe (back in the 90's).
