Right, but sometimes the power goes out at the beginning of a storm... that's certainly our experience. When we had our "pull out of the garage" generator back in MA when tropical storms hit us the power sometimes went out at the beginning of the storm and it might be a day before the rain stopped enough so I could drag out the generator and hook it up without getting electrocuted
When we had our Generac it just kicked in when the power went out. In one snow/sleet storm... they say it was a"snow-cane" we lost power at the beginning of the storm... it snowed/sleeted for over almost two days and we were on Generac power for almost 6 days.
Sometimes I think we retired to Florida just so we could have reliable power
