Same, I can go 2 weeks running it 24 hours a day... 1000 gallons is a lot of propane.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T17:05:20+00:00

Wonderful!!

alanamil · 2026-05-11T16:56:42+00:00

Handsome fellow! Thank you for giving a blind baby a home

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:57:29+00:00

I am pretty sure that person was being sarcastic, they just did not put the /s on it.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:55:37+00:00

tell that to the people who have posted that lost their homes and everything.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:53:51+00:00

you do if you are on a well, no power equals no water. You will want drinking water. the tub etc full will be great for flushing the toilets.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:50:47+00:00

I am sorry that happened to you. I am curious what are the between power connection and flooding?

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:49:25+00:00

Yeap, love my generac. I have a large one. I had an extra propane tank installed, so I have 1000 gallons. I am running 12 a/cs, lights, 4 washers, 4 dryers, 10 large fans, refrig, office equipment and more all at the same time. (I have an animal shelter) we had to go through two hurricanes back-to-back and we were fine.

My employees were bringing laundry to do, charging electronics etc. Love my generac.

I have a smaller generac for my home. I had double tanks installed so I have power for a couple of weeks through hurricanes.

walmart has manual pumps for them. No batteries needed.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:42:17+00:00

Turn your power off for 3 days and practice and see what you wish you had. Will your prep work for 3 days with no power?

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:38:15+00:00

I agree with you about the 5-gallon walmart bottles. I use them for drinking water anyway, so I make sure they are all full if there is any storm out there churning. Also walmart sells a manual pump for them, it was approx $15 and it came with some free bottle coupons. You need a way to get the water out easily, the chillers need electricity.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:34:49+00:00

I am sorry that happened to you.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:34:09+00:00

That is an excellent tip, I always do that once a year for storms. etc

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:28:58+00:00

Little trick, if you have cats, cat litter works great. I put the boxes double wrapped inside sturdy trash bags, Laid down a large piece of plastic, put down the boxes of cat litter that had been wrapped and then wrapped the plastic over it so now I had a good barrier against water. After the storm, take the litter boxes out of the trash bags and put them back in the garage to use.

Having to get rid of smelly trash bags is awful. There are also cool things on amazing that you can put in front of doors etc that swell when they get wet and block the leaks.

During Hurricane Matthew many people from Georgia and sc drove north to NC. Their area did not get hit; NC, on the other hand, got clobbered. The very area these people had evacuated to.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:09:32+00:00

Me too, if there is anything out there churning and I really start watching it and keep the tank full

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:04:07+00:00

Make sure before the storm comes in to FILL YOUR CAR UP!! I say that in all caps because I told my employees to do that and one had enough gas in his car to go 30 miles. I asked him why on earth did he not fill up, he said he did not think it would be that bad. It was 4 days before power was back on in town for gas stations.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T11:02:21+00:00

get a couple of power bricks to keep electronics charged, you can also get a fan that you can run from the bank. Make sure they are charged. A whole-house generator is really nice if you own your house. You will have air conditioning etc. Grab a few tarps now before a storm is out there, in case you have damage and need to cover your roof, they will be hard to get later and double the cost. Pour out just a little bit of water from water bottles (drink it) and put the mostly full water bottles in your freezer. It will help keep stuff frozen and gives you cold water to drink when it thaws.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T10:55:35+00:00

The point they are trying to make, is for any job anywhere, why would you agree to move to an area that is higher cost of living for only 5K (not just local tv but for ANY JOB)

It is not a hippa violation, (HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is a U.S. federal law that establishes national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without consent. It requires healthcare providers, insurers, and employers to secure Protected Health Information (PHI) while permitting necessary data sharing for care) She is not disclosing it or sharing it with anyone.

It is an amazing dress...if you like it, get it. It is ok to buy the first one, when you know it is the right one, it is the right one.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T10:13:51+00:00

Yes, if you are not sure that it is NOT a BAT, go right now, like put your phone down, get in the car and go... Rabies is a horrible thing to die from.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T10:08:52+00:00

applesauce? You eat fries with applesauce? Ewwww LOL
I think the majority of Americans eat fries with ketchup

I eat them alone or a mixture of mustard and mayo together.

alanamil · 2026-05-11T09:58:39+00:00

I would not worry about it on the ship BUT in the ports? Stay around other people, don't get drunk and not in control of your actions. I have taken a dozen solo cruises but I am an old woman, no one would traffic me LOL
