oh wow, our roof is brand new just put up last august, and it held up, I had the roofing company come and check on it, still under warranty of 6 months. the only damage we had was a garbage can hit the back gate and broke it, hubby replaced it when Home Depot had a piece of panel that we could buy. is all done, FEMA is a JOKE, I have friends that lost their homes and they still walking around here like zombies, we call them the Fema walking dead, their answer to everything is they just "DONT KNOW". insurances gave the people a 4 to 8 week waiting period to get an answer on their claims, this is a travesty. I drove to PA for gas, it got to the point here that people were arguing and trying to kill each other with guns for a gallon of gas, very scary and depresing. every other day we got up at 4 am and drove to PA to get gas and some normalcy. the babies did very well thru the storm mama kept them warm and we all hurdle in my bedroom where we had a small heater run by the small generator running all night. My son's put a camping tent in the hall upstairs and slept inside their winter sleeping bags.. they thought it was cool since I never allowed them to do that inside the house when they were young..LOL , we still loose power for a couple of hours since the crews still removing trees and debris from the power lines and sorrownding areas.
I thank God that hubby was able to stay home for 5 days during the no power days,between him and the boys they kept the generator running...
so sad about your generator, was it still under warranty, I would rather NOT eat for a month but have a generator, now we have 2 a big one that runs the house, my house is all electric, and a small one that runs the heaters for my dogs.. yes my pack has their own generator..
hugs,
