Big, big storm passed through northwest Ohio mid-day yesterday. Lots of trees and power lines down. I'm one of those without electricity at my house. Fortunately, I have a good sized generator for just this sort of thing. It's still a royal pain.

For some crazy reason, it is common to only have a relatively small gas tank, which only holds enough gasoline to run the generator for 3 1/2 hours. It might be time to look into a different generator, or maybe modifing the one I have.
