Thanks Hippy. I live here in Wilmington, just outside of it and it seems these kind funnel their way up the coast and come on in the Cape Fear River. As it looks now, we may have another "Hugo" scenario. Crank those generators and stay on that survival list. 2 years ago my neighbor waited til the last minute ( power went out ) to fire uo the generator because he had it serviced 3 weeks prior and it wouldn't run when he needed it. Who ever serviced it F'd up the carb,the kill switch was broke, and the fuel filter was backwards. Stay Safe out there.
