I have got by with 3K watts it was enoufh to have lights, fans and keep the refrigerator going.
I worked my way to bigger 12.5 surge 8k continuous. I can run coffee pots micro waves and a few things in my shop. I can about live a normal life other than no AC.
The P.I.T.A is fuel I converted mine to natural gas as I already have it. When a hurricane is predicted to end life on the east coast you will need 100 gals. Who wants to store 100 gal of gas if the event is a no show. As the last event was headed our way gas stations were running out of fuel they would not take a credit card. Those that had gas put a limit on what you could buy.
Hurricane Fran we were out of power for 11 days I had a old onan gen on my camper. My sister lived beside me I kept her stuff going also. During the day I would drive the camper to mom's she would have it for the day. Her neighbor talked me/her into running her freezer a few hours a day.
The moral of the story we all lost out frozen food a gen is for YOU, you cannot share it ( keep that in mind) that's why I brought two nice gen sets. I also learned when folks find out you have a good stock of fuel they will ask you for some then all run out of fuel.
Make sure you have plenty of fuel to keep the grill going to cook all the food thawing out in the freezer : )

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
