The Perfect Storm is Brewing … Are You Prepared?

Owners of standby generators like to be “prepared” … just in case.

Nor'easters

Homeowners living in the northeast coastal regions of the USA are familiar with Nor'easters, so-called because of high northeastern winds which can occur any time of the year. The most frequent and violent Nor'easters occur between September and April and often bring high winds, snow, rain, flooding, and power outages.

Hurricanes and Tropical Storms

Hurricanes can impact coastal areas along the Gulf Coast and up and down the Eastern Seaboard. The official start of hurricane season is June 1st and the season lasts through November 30th, with peak hurricane events in mid-September. Tropical storms can precede or follow hurricane season.

High winds are the norm during hurricane events and so are power outages. Homeowners can prepare for these high wind events with a standby generator.

Weather patterns have changed over the years, especially for the nation's midsection, and straight-line wind storms can often accompany severe thunderstorms. Homeowners in Memphis, Tennessee recall a wild straight-line wind storm in July, 2003, producing winds of 100+mph. Memphians nicknamed the storm Hurricane Elvis.which caused power outages lasting upwards of 3-weeks for some.

Ice Storms

Ice storms can wreak havoc across the nation's midsection and beyond. And, power outages are a given as ice buildup can bring down tree limbs and power lines.
