Irene…and now Katia?

Last week, Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on the east coast of the United States…today, there are more threats looming in the Atlantic and the Carribean.  Tropical Storm Katia is expected to become a hurricane, and Tropical Storm Lee is expected to form in either the Carribean or the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend…are you prepared?

DuroMax XP4400E 4,400 Watt 7.0 HP OHV 4-Cycle Gas Powered Portable Generator With Wheel Kit And Electric StartWhile you may think that you are prepared, chances are, you really aren’t.  People in the Northeast lost power for days with Irene.  And, in losing power, they also lost lots of other things.  Food spoils.  There’s no power for even light in the dark.  No way to cook.  No way to keep cool.  And no way to dry up water that intrudes into your home…so you could lose your carpeting, drywall, and invite mold into your house.   While that’s fine for a few hours…imagine if it were for days.  Weeks.  Or even a month.  Then, it wouldn’t be fine.

If you’ve never thought about a generator, now is the time to do so…before you need it.  Did you know that, for the cost of replacing the groceries in your refrigerator and freezer, you can have a gas powered generator that will protect you in the event of a power outage?   That’s right, you can own a portable, gasoline powered generator for less than the cost of trying to save what would be ruined in a few hours without electricity. 

And, you wouldn’t have to buy dozens of batteries, or risk burning candles all night, either.

Check out the selection of generators at Amazon.com today, and be prepared before Katia or Lee bears down on you tomorrow!
