how many generator deaths during this storm?

Posted by buickanddeere on December 21, 2008 at 09:48:04 from (216.183.133.117):

I wonder how many people will kill themselves with tinkerer connected generators during this storm?
Instead of a proper transfer switch and locating the generator down wind and away from the building.
They will either locate the generator in the garage, carport or basement and run extension cords through open doors or windows.Or in order to get the cords to reach, locate the generator on the upwind side of the house close to the door or window.
Now the wind or a shift in wind direction lets carbon monoxide into the house.
Re-fueling hot or running generators is a popular hazardous pastime as well. POOOOOF and the fire department can't get there for lack of visibility, blocked roads and lack of water/frozen equipment.
