Yes, it's a bit more daunting than it seems. Being here in Louisiana, albeit far inland from the coast, we have the hurricane issue. This past season, I sprang for a generator. When Ike started toward the North Texas coast, I started buying gas...and buying....and buying....It didn't dawn on my how much of an issue even using a generator was until that point. The amount of gas required is pretty amazing and storing anything beyond a few days worth is probably beyond the average person...
