OMG....what kind of hillbilly trailer park thing they got going on here?!?!?!?!? There's enough propane in those tanks to power that generator for a month!!! And when's the last time we've needed this????

Unless my eyes are deceiving me there is no way those tanks are beyond 10 feet from the house. Depending on who's rocks they are adjacent to the house they may not even be on their own property. A lot of people making a lot of wrong assumptions of what they actually own in these patio villa homes.
If it were me I would not call anybody but the fire department. They'll take care of it.
Your eyes *are* deceiving you. Those tanks are neither underground nor mounded.

From a quick look at a few links, that amount of propane would run the generator for 48-72 hours.
