When the tornadoes swept through North Alabama in 2011, it took out the entire utility grid for most of the northern half of the state, we were without power for nine days. Luckily for us, Todd had purchased a small generator just weeks prior. Our reserve water tanks in the RV were full and we always keep reserve gas. Todd and I and my son, his wife, and their son, were able to manage just fine. But living on that small generator was enough to let us know we needed a larger one. This year when tornadoes again hit our area in April and we were again without power for several days, we lived quite comfortably. I’m a BIG fan of being prepared!!
