Hopefully won't need it and mine turns out to be a huge, wasted expense
I bought my first generator back before 1999 ended and the dreaded year 2000. I was in IT at Georgia Power/Southern Company at the time and they had us concerned that most of our software would crash because it couldn't handle a year date as 00 and all those plants would shutdown. So I bought a generator in case it happened.
Long story short, it was 8 years before I actually needed it. LMAO Kinda like a type of rabbits foot. But the Generac I currently have has been called into service several times.
