He turned it off again. I have no idea wtf he was doing, but 2 wrongs don't make a right.

Living on the Gulf Coast for a good part of my life, I've been through many hurricanes. Most recently Hurricane Beryl, back in July. But it was nothing compared to Milton. Milton, is / was a bad one. Especially with all the tornados... And the worst part about all of it, is not having any power, sometimes for weeks afterwards. Even with a generator, it sucks cuz u got to deal with finding gas and dealing with long gas lines etc. I feel for the people in Florida.

Why can't you turn a generator on before 7?

I was living in Ghent(which floods if too many dogs pee at the same time during high tide) when Sandy “hit”, and it was not much more than typical thunderstorm weather except it lasted longer. But that thing went up the coast and wrecked Jersey and NYC.
