We also had lots of rain...some flooding, power outages...We still had power last night, but my parents only 3 miles away were out for several hours. Hubby and I went over to haul the generator up by the house from the garage and then he had to hook it up. I took as many fans as I had and a couple of extension cords...one outlet in the kitchen is hooked up for the generator as well as the sump pump, fridge and the basement freezer. It was reallly hot and humid yesterday...at least the temperature went down a bit because of the rain.
