Earlier posts have mentioned them but not frequency or duration. Thinking about a generator--That's all

Been here almost 8 years. I struggle to remember as many as 5 power outages. Of those - if, indeed, there were that many - none lasted longer that 2 or 3 minutes, at the very most.

Even during "Hurricane Season," this is not, repeat NOT, an issue!

I had a pressure sprayer, but gave it away to make room for a motorcycle...ha ha

Good luck on your move!
Thanks for all the feed back.
I have decided ----I will forego the generator and bring my motorcycle.
