A tornado touched down 1/2 mile away from me 4 days ago and ripped the roof off 2 apartment bldgs and uprooted large trees and tumbled some parked cars into a pile but caused no damage here. I've got a 5500 watt Makita generator,1500 Coleman generator and a 500 watt Honda 2 cycle generator for emergencies and a 50' an 8 gauge wire extension cord that I made.
