    Hondas are great because they are so quiet because they run based on load. What size are you looking for ? The 2000 ones can be had for around 800 bucks.


    I would still run a battery backup as what happens if you aren't home and you lose power?

    Yeah, Honda 2000 (lol). New for $800? I haven't seen that price. Best ive seen was $950. Where have you been looking?

    Id rather have a continuous supply of power than a battery that will fade. Worst case, I can come home from wherever I'm at to fire up the genie. But both systems would be nice to have.

    Half my town is flooded. News helicopters were buzzing overhead capturing all the carnage.

    Last night while trying to sleep, I heard what I thought was rain, but then the sound just turned into a constant whooshing noise. Then I thought it was just my air conditioner running at full tilt and I went back to sleep. Turns out it was a fucking typhoon.

    Thank God my sump pumps worked correctly.

    ...THIS IS A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR Lake and northeastern McHenry
    counties in Illinois...

    ...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1100 AM CDT FOR
    LAKE AND NORTHEASTERN MCHENRY COUNTIES...

    At 742 AM CDT, thunderstorms producing very heavy rain were moving
    across the warned area and will likely cause additional flash
    flooding and very dangerous travel. Five to eight inches of rain has
    fallen and additional rainfall amounts of one to three inches are
    likely in the warned area.

    This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Lake county and northeastern
    McHenry county in Illinois. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS
    SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

    Some locations that will experience flooding include...
    Waukegan, North Chicago, Gurnee, Mundelein, McHenry, Vernon Hills,
    Zion, Grayslake, Libertyville, Lake Forest, Round Lake, Antioch,
    Beach Park, Wauconda, Fox Lake, Lake Villa, Island Lake, Long Grove,
    Park City and Wonder Lake.

    Including the following interstates...
    I-94 between mile markers 1 and 18.
    I-294 between mile markers 1 and 18.

    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

    Move to higher ground now. This is an extremely dangerous and
    life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
    fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.

    Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
    deaths occur in vehicles.

    :rofl: I was getting ready for work, it was SUPER dark at 730. Looked out at my yard and the typical spot on the side where it normally floods, did. Didn't think much of it.

    I go to leave my subdivision. 404SWIMTRUNKSNOTFOUND

    bahahhaha I just did this too in a section where only 1/2 the road was 12-18", probably just over the axle, while everyone else waited another couple minutes for the oncoming traffic to pass
