re: day 4 with no power

Yep Generac is kinda the standard. I am in Kingwood and lots of people lost power here as well. They are trickling back on now. I would also check the Kohlers. My in laws who also live here put one of those in last year when my FIL pretty well had to have reliable electricity due to health. Be advised that gas supply in relation to your electric meter is going to dictate the price tag to a degree.
