ml> you should have seen us when fran came thru here... it was 3 days later   
   ml> before we got the generator and then another week i think before   
   ml> commercial   
   ml> power came back on... we were very glad to have that generator... at that   
   ml> time, one only needed to pull the cord once or twice to get it going...   
   ml> now   
   ml> it takes a lot more pulling to get it going... i'm pretty winded and down   
   ml> after 40 pulls with no fire :/   
      
   I really thought our power was going to be out much longer than 24 hours.    
   Even at 24 hours, that would not have been fun.  It was in the upper 30s a few   
   of the nights afterwards.  A few people I talked to still had no power later   
   in the week and said their indoor house temp was in the low 50s.
