31. In Abilene, 150 miles west Ft Worth
You can't find a generator at the local home centers (lowes, home depot, etc). We aren't worried about winds but flooding sounds like a possibility. We found out a few years ago our local electrical substation was built in the flood plain. We were high & dry during a 100-yr flood but we went without power for almost 24 hours. My husband went shopping for a generator today because during the last flood I lost a few tropical fish & a freezer of food.
