Frankenstorm Set to Hit the East Coast Next Week

They didn't. A real estate agent's not really going to bring that up and the house appeared immaculate. During Irene, the power never went out and we were fine. However, this past winter, our sump pump died and we took on a little water (half centimeter maybe) in about half our basement.

They should of - especially if you live on the edge of a flood zone. Mine did.

At least you got the next two days off. I got called in to work today and will be leaving with a laptop for tomorrow.

Good luck.

Yeah, he wasn't the best agent. Plus, even the basement looked like you could eat off the floor so I'm guessing it wasn't a concern for him. It wasn't for me too much because of how clean it looked. But he had had the floor painted and the walls (with Killz) I think.
 
If you all want a reminder of honor and priorities just remember that at the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" an honor guard is on detail like always. Hurricane be damned.

God Bless them that they wont get sick and that no harm will befall them.
 
I've never had to use a generator for anything. Utah hasn't had a major disaster (yet). For your generator, for example, how much gas does it take? How often to you have to refill it?

How long (estimation wise) will it take for gas stations and stores to become restocked with gas, food, and water again? I'm assuming that many people have some emergency supplies but I doubt they'd last longer than a few days. What about plumbing? I mean... What happens when the sewer system is so flooded and you have to use the bathroom or want to take a shower?

I'm going to be lost once the big one hits Utah....

Hey, I bought a Honda EU2000i generator which is, I guess obviously for everyone here, a 2,000 watt generator. Would this be enough to run a 0.3 hp sump pump, my 28.5 cubic inch GE refrigerator and freezer, and my 47 inch LG LCD tv. Adding up the wattage, I don't think it is. Anyone?

I'd be surprised if you can push the refrigerator without knocking it out. My 4000W has a rough time running a small a/c unit (12,000 btu I think). Check it in in advance and leave the doors open to make sure it turns on.

If it were me then I'd be freezing water for later use in the fridge. The larger the cubes the better. Gatorade bottles work well. Put your milk in the freezer for a while also. If you can get it, dry ice in the fridge works miracles. Don't worry about the freezer if you're only looking at 2-3 days.
 
My grandmother in Richmond, VA says it's raining pretty hard, but not very windy. This is starting to sound like another hoax by the liberal lamestream media!
 
Wow, I can say the wind right now is comparable to the worst from Hurricane Irene last year - and this son of a bitch isn't supposed to get on top of us for another 6 to 8 hours. Gonna be a rough one.
