The traffic nightmare everyone talks about has a very simple solution. Leave at midnight the day before all the sheeple that wait til the last minute to leave. Not only was the traffic not bad, there wasn't any. If you wait til you know where it's going, it's too late because that's what everybody does. We made it to Shreveport in record time during Rita and Ike. Got up the next day both times and turned on the TV to see all the gridlock.

After Ike I bought a Briggs & Stratton 5550 watt. You can get a natural gas conversion, that's what I'm gonna do pretty quick because as you've already heard, gasoline availability when the power is out is a problem. If you google generator natural gas conversion some stuff comes up. Mine has a Briggs & Stratton but if I could have afforded it I would rather had one with a Honda engine. The Japanese just have their stuff together on those small engines. Like Echo chainsaws, they always run and they always start, and almost no maintenance.
