Seeing as CA-NEV have not had a quake bigger than a 3 in the last week I’m of the opinion that a big one is coming. I’d say roughly a 30% chance it will be between San Diego and AZ. Hence power lines may go down again, but this time perhaps for longer. I think that last outage was a good drill for the real thing.
Places that shouldn’t have earthquakes are having them. Snyder, Texas, is having swarms of quakes. LOL! Then recently, Pres. Obama read an apocalyptic part of the bible as part of his speech: something about the mountains falling into the oceans, earth crumbling, kingdoms tottering, earth melting, etc. (Yikes!) So, what is he trying to say? I am not going to find hidden messages there, but on Sept. 14th or 15th, I hope there is no large solar flare, because I hope to close on a house I’m buying before the weekend (to avoid CME dose of proton/neutron radation, or something like that). LOL!

Hey Nancy, weren’t you the one that purchased a large condo in the Tesla area last year? Or do I have you mixed up with someone else?
Just out of curiosity, do any of you Piggs have a generator at home? If so, what type/brand is it? After this I was looking into getting a generator but there are so many types out there I was curious if anyone had one. I honestly haven’t ever met anyone that had one in their home.
I’ve got a 5500W one. Puts out 45 amps @ 120V. It is loud, I’ve heard that Hondas are quieter. If I use mine again I will be cycling it most likely. For the approx. 5 hours that I ran it, it used approx. 2 gallons of gas.

Thanks Threadkiller…. I’ll check out a few this weekend… I figure it can’t be a bad idea keeping it in the garage just in case along with some other things I’ll stock up on including some LED lamps that would have come in handy this past week.
Make sure you get the right kind of extension cords that you will need to run whatever you want to run. I am sure you can ask where you buy it what you need to run the different appliances, etc.
