Here's what's really tragic. There have been 7 or so deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Why is it that people don't get how and where to use a gasoline powered generator?

Fett, that is tragic, and I can relate. Earlier this year, a fellow officer at work had a generator in his basement to keep the fridge running. He had fallen on hard times. He was a nice guy but got caught up in alcohol related shit and got suspended without pay.

ANYWAY, unknown to him, his kid stayed home from school one day while the generator was running. They found him dead when they got home. I will never understand anyone that thinks running a gasoline, or any fuel burning engine indoors is a good idea.

I'M OK EVERYONE! (wait, no one asked)

after 7 days, i just got power back today. with a 7500 watt generater i was able to run the gas heater, 360 xbox, 42" plasma, freezer & fridge, some light, and hair straightners & blowdryers to keep the teenage daughters from going crazy. the problem was finding gas to run the thing with the stations down. lost 2 100+ firs, but no house damage unlike the dude at the end of my street. it was strange at night cause all you could hear is gens. running.

i worked the night of the storm and was one of the first to deal with the trees in the morning. getting home was endless due to road blockage. the trees just snaped the power poles and transformers & wire was everywhere. i drove under a half dozen or more trees and pulled branches back to get by. the roads were green and all you hear is cracking from branches as you drove. amazing more did not get killed due to trees, but more died to keep warm. i have pic's of my street i'll post later.

Glad to hear your okay man! (sorry I don't know your name!)

[fett]
