I'm in Northern VA and just waiting for Hanna to get here-already raining. I tested my generator, filled the tank, pulled it to the back of the yard and laid out the extension cords.
Because my hood is in a weak spot in the power grid, I will start it up and transfer the tank to the generator before I go to work in the morning 'cause I just can't take the chance that power will go out when I am working all day tomorrow, when the peak wind/rain will hit us. Of course the reason I am doing side work all day tomorrow is to support my SW habit!
