If the generator can start and run the portable AC unit, bring it, especially if it is a good quality generator. I have been south of 44 for 5 yrs and only one 8 hour outage. In the summer heat that could be brutal. Rescuing your refrigerator food and meds is another reason to have a small generator. We still have some above ground power lines in the “southern areas” so the 60-70 mph winds from a hurricane (that’s what we get) or drenching electrical storms can interrupt electrical and internet.
If you have equipment you use and love I would bring it. I am kicking myself for selling my Honda gen and oak furniture at the advice of others. The Harbor Freight gen is harder to operate and less efficient.
