If you dont have one, you really should get a generator. Started mine yesterday just to make sure.
July/August...in southern Louisiana....with no electricity...that's about as close to hell as you can get with both feet above ground.
Having no AC is the thing that most worries me about these storms. As you know, unless you have experienced the heat and humidity after a storm, there's just no describing the misery. I'm like these fish, I need some sort of cool refuge to escape to at some point! As for the generator, I was pleasantly surprised that it cranked on the third pull after sitting outside in my shop for the last 5 years. After running it for 14 days straight after Gustav, I changed the oil, put stabil in the gas tank and ran the carb dry. That seemed to be the ticket!
Good luck to you guys, hope it doesn't get too bad. My oldest son and brother both live in the Lafayette/Youngsville area so they are pretty worried with this latest shift to the west.
