Yes, a generator and UPSes for computers are a must here. We have a 5kW unit, but it's a pain to haul it from the garage to the other end of the house where the meter and hookups are and connect it. I'm also leary of dealing with those 240v twist-lock connectors in the rain, but we broke down and did it last night for a couple of hours. At least that let us cool the refrigerator back down and pump some water. It's back on now, one of the most appreciated Christmas gifts I've had in years. Hot water!
