Anyone who does not want to line up at the gas pumps when the big storm hits, may want to consider the Generac 6000 LP3250 Liquid Propane Generator for the easy convenience and long-term storage of stable, clean-burning propane.   There are lower emissions than for gasoline, but the fuel stability over months of storage means that you can be prepared a year ahead of any power outages.

For the homeowner who just wants to economically power his house while the grid is down, the Westinghouse WH5500 Portable Gas enerator is ideal.  It is quite portable and quiet enough to use while RVing too.  These new Westinghouse models are very popular and for good reason.
