Honda Generators

It the power in the entire area is out, there won't be any school.

A similar thing happened on my road. By the time I went to work, the tree was neatly cut up and loaded into the back of someone's pickup. Waste not, want not. Almost everyone around here except me has a chain saw; I'm old fashioned and carry an axe in the car. I'll admit if there were several trees across the road I'd truly regret not having a Stihl instead.

Free firewood, already down, and you don't have to drive up into the woods to find it. Good way to start the day.

We had The Blizzard of 1993 which paralyzed Birmingham and surrounding area to an incredible degree(no pun). It would have been a minor inconvenience for a Northern city but what hit us was way outside our experience with snowfall. We could swap them dang Yankees a few tornadoes for a couple of blizzards. ^_^

TDD

At least them "dang Yankees" could drive through the snow to get your ass to the hospital. ;-)

That's the point but the guys who go mud riding in their 4X4 didn't seem to have any trouble getting around. ^_^

TDD

...and they drive their cars the same way. ;-)

In Washington State where I used to live, the trucks with four wheel drive had no problems zooming along at their usual speed. However one would often find them off the road because they forgot that a four wheel drive has no advantage in stopping.

My favorite drivers are the ones who drive faster in the rain so they can get home quicker and not get wet. O_o

No thanks, we have enough already:

One came 1/4 mile from the house when I was little.

Or turning. The skill to make a good bootlegger U-turn doesn't help if the axles are locked together.

I've had one skip over me at a higher altitude, it's a strange sight. O_o

TDD

Or marbles.

Then store it in your living room, until you need it? Y2K madness all over again.

That's great, if the tankers can get there. What it really means is that other stations get no gas, unless extra trucks are availible.

^^

Really? I spent a month in a local school during and after a hurricane. Their diesel generator was still running when I left. That's different from an ice storm, but I haven't seen a public school without a large power plant in over 25 years.

How many did you have in 1973?

I drove a stepvan when I lived in Ohio. It could go almost anywhere.

Big grin.
