The only thing I see that I need a generator for in the south area is for my fridge, if power were out for 6+ hours. It would take a large generator for your AC, and you would need to wire it into your panel. If it's hot and you are out of power for that long, you can probably find a rec center that does have power, and cool off there.
In the south area, and we have NG for cooking, and if I need hot water, I could boil it. Golf cart with USB plugs to charge phones. Bottom line, I don't see power being out here that much or that long to make the purchase and maintenance of a generator of any kind worth it.
