Time for an update! It really looks like we dodged a bullet here. Henri =
missed eastern Long Island, made landfall in RI and all we got was a =
wet, windy day. And, not all that wet or windy. We=E2=80=99ve had =
plenty worse. So, I haven't needed the generator. Of course, a branch =
could still fall and take out a critical line, so I=E2=80=99ll leave it =
on the porch and ready to go, just in case. And, I will spend a little =
time researching better ways to utilize it the next time, as there will =
definitely be a next time.
As always, thanks for the help and advice!
