In the now 7 years ive been a firefighter, ive never seen my cheif prepare this much for a storm. We made sure all equipment and trucks were gased up, all lights are with fresh batteries. extra radio batteris are on charge, all gear ready to go adn told us to pack our duffles in case we have an extended stay. asked us with atv's to ensure they are gased up and running as well.

as I typed that, the main weather guy I follow in our area put this out on twitter.
and if you follow his link, one paragraph stands out to me..
My wife is goign to be at the hospital all day, her dad is having a major neck surgery. I know they have good saftey plans in place. I am off all day tomorrow while I have the kids, but if its starting to look bad, im sending them with my mother to my grandparents house a few miles down the road. THey have an underground basement and i'll hunker down here at home. Luckily im only a block from the station so a atv ride or sprint down there is easy to do.

Feel confident most of the night will be calm in AL, but tomorrow will be as rough as it gets: http://bit.ly/icafOd #alwx

Between 7 a.m. and noon tomorrow, you will see strong storms fire over northern Mississippi again and they will edge into Northwest Alabama around lunchtime. By that time, the cap will start to erode, and storms will start to fire over Central and eastern Mississippi. We will probably remain high and dry in Central Alabama through lunchtime. But thunderstorms will start to go off like firecrackers over West Central Alabama between noon and 2 p.m. and work their way east and southeast. These storms will be dangerous, with good instability and strong wind fields. The various severe weather parameters are very high tomorrow and tornadoes are a good possibility, including the chance for long tracked and strong tornadoes.

) I actually thought about it today, I passed a 379 Peterbilt pulling an oversized flatbed trailer that had the biggest CAT generator I've ever seen on it. I thought, "****, I could use that!"

Thats my next big investment. Since my house is total electric, I want a propane or natural gas powered generator thats big enough to power the entire place. At that point ill build a brick building around it so no one can screw with it and steal my copper. With a 500gallon tank, it should run my house for about 3-4 weeks with moderate use.

I need to sell a couple of more houses and I plan to have this by hurricane season.

Nice Gary, very nice! Something I have learned while having a master electrician for a father in law, figure out what you need load wise for a generator, and go up 1-2 sizes. Dont work them at a full load and they wont use as much fuel. Cost more up front, but gives your room to expand and also may save some in the long haul.
