Quote: If you have a generator, buy a carbon monoxide detector. They are cheap.
(And like the previous poster, I apologize if this post is off-topic; but carbon monoxide poisoning, although uncommon, does happen more often after storms than at other times, and with a detector it is for the most part preventable.)
I know its a great convienience to have a generator in a time like this, but sometimes i wonder if the risk is worth it. My neighbour has one, its loud and i can smell the gas from my house. To me its a very scary machine to have, granted i just went four days without power and no where to go because of flooding because of Katrina.
On a side note, i remember earlier in the season, we were voting on the hurricane names that scare us this season, who would have guessed a sweet innocent name like Katrina would turn out to be like this.
On another side note, I will never use the term "minimal hurricane again". After what i went through this weekend, Katrina really slapped us around here in South Miami Dade County. One lesson learnt, when there is a hurricane warning, take it very seriously.
