Thanks in advance for the input.
My bride and myself have been here (Pine Hills) since May, 2019. We brought a generator with us that we had previously owned from our business in Wisconsin down to The Villages in anticipation of power outages. The one and only time I have used it was during hurricane Milton. Lost power for roughly ten hours. Would I buy a generator after having been here for six years? Unless you have medical concerns that might require you to have power, I would say, ABSOLUTELY NOT!
