24 hour stores like Walmart are a wonderful resource Having lived in Florida until we moved up here, I can't begin tell you how many times we went to Walmart during hurricane aftermaths to cool off. They get sooo packed on hot nights when everyone has no electricity and needs a place with AC.
Actually......because of the economy.....you're hard pressed to find a store open past midnight anymore.
If you're willing to take the chance in waiting ...you can get a new generator Much cheaper during a State of Emergency. I'm told they can't make a profit during those times.
I discovered that at a Yamaha dealer down Topsham way last year. They sold all theirs and were getting more from other dealers. It was such a deal that I now have two and will need to sell my tri-fuel when I get around to it.
I'm just nuts about geocaching!!
. . . or you can always rub a few other things together for heat.
Actually, I'm all set these days with my Jotul woodstove . . . in fact I use very little heating oil now . . . but back during the ice storm it was a pretty big deal with the freezing temps. I lucked out however and was able to pick up a small (but adequately sized) generator which had apparently been purchased and returned so it was sold as used . . . even though the muffler still had a sticker on it and there wasn't a trace of gas in the gas tank. After hooking up the oil boiler to run off the generator I snaked a long extension cord to the TV and Play Station since I was a die-hard Lara Croft fanatic at the time and I had my priorities!

I think the better investment for your buck now is going to be solar if you have a good southern exposure. Prices are coming down all the time now and a lot of states are even giving out great rebates as well.
Just smile it won't crack your face
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
I fixed a lot of roofs people chopped up with hatchets after the ice storm, can you imagine people up there chipping the ice of their solar cells???
