 Well. First time the generator and gas storage has been implemented. 2 freezers and 2 fridges are A-OK with no power since 2AM. Used water stores to water the chickens, ducks, turkeys and bunnies. Fixed the down fence. Rain catchments for toilet flushing. Have a gas stove so no issues there. Thanks @jackspirko you jerk. A little preparation goes a long way. I am officially hurricane resistant. #prepping, #hurricane, #survival https://image.nostr.build/86cb3390e036a1642419b25c7b56d6e70780345ef78e0ddc96e6498d3ebf6ac5.jpg

 Glad you were prepared! 

How much time do you estimate you can keep the power running based on your fuel on hand and consumption rate? 
If you don’t open the freezers much you should be able to only run for a little bit of the day to keep them cold

 Yep. I’m running the generator in cycles. A few hours on then a few off. I can monitor freezer temps electronically. I have a little over 40 gallons of gas stored not including what’s in 2 vehicles. I’m guessing I could go around a week if I had to.
