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 power came back on... we were very glad to have that    
   ml> generator... at that time, one only needed to pull the cord once or    
   ml> twice to get it going... now it takes a lot more pulling to get it    
   ml> going... i'm pretty winded and down after 40 pulls with no fire :/   
      
    MH> I really thought our power was going to be out much longer than 24   
    MH> hours.  Even at 24 hours, that would not have been fun.     
      
   i'd bet 100 to 1 that those folks in NY wish they had generators with ample   
   fuel... especially those fuel stations who are still without and loosing   
   thousands by the day... a generator would have paid for itself several time   
   over by now...
