This has inspired me to get a portable generator for the house. One that’s just big enough to run essential items. We have hot water natural gas-fired radiator heat so it would not take much to run the water pump for the furnace. Add in the refrigerator, some lights and a TV and a 5000 kW generator should get the job done. That would also be enough to run a couple of window AC units. Should the power go off in the summer.
