@Stealth83 : @Tom57 : @Lyn0811 : Maria60 : @didibenedetti : @Amybooth : @Oddriller : I've only hooked up my generator following Hurricane Ike. I had cold beer. Others on the block loved me. I may have to get a permanent installation, but with such low risk, it's hard to justify. But cold beer....

We have gone into a drought following a hurricane. After Ike(2008), drought lasted until 2013?. The longest drought started in 1949, ended in 1957. We normally have snow the winter following a hurricane, which we did. I certainly wouldn't put much faith in the weather folks, I don't recall them predicting Harvey this far out, do you?

@Tom57 : Hey Tom, I installed a transfer switch next to the breaker box to power the circuits we needed the most, i.e. fridge, some lights, some ac plugs for an a/c.
 
Something like this one:
www.amazon.com/dp/B0 00HS2L3O/ref=asc_df_ B000HS2L3O5409033/?t ag=hyprod-20&cr
 
I had a buddy come over for dinner and some beer and he connected the switch to the circuit box for me since he was an electrician.
 
I ran the cord through the attic to the covered patio where I can connect the generator fairly easily w/o getting drenched.
 
A whole house generator is the way to go but this setup is the next best thing for the economically minded.

@nuwarrior : Oh wow 😳Very nice job. 👍
I think I will start looking for a box like that that will supply a 5500 running watt generator.
Thanks for the info. !
