Long Island residents should be pay extra caution for both flooding from rainfall, and raising sea line plus EXTENDED power outage. The hurricane may slide by there if the eastern air system does not pull the hurricane to their side fast enough according to the weather report. Even if it does not hit the Island, the collateral damage due to raising sea line could be something to watch out for anyway.

It's looking bad, may be a very close hit.

I can agree! But in my case a generator is the way to go. I will then be able to run AC in basement, sump pump, along with Fridge and my FIOS panel for internet. Need the internet to keep kids occupied well for me too!

Faster than expected, Irene is now Cat 3 already! Top wind speed 120mph-up 5mph in 3 hours!
Cat 4 is almost a certainty by tomorrow.

I would just need to run my mp40 and return pump what is the cheapest way to do this Should I buy a sm generator? The vortex back up is around $200 large and heavy and thick it will only run 1 mp 40 for few days so I'm thinking a sm generator would be better also assuming that if I wait till it hits they will all be sold / rented

My theory to that is if you are expecting a short brown out, then you can go with battery type backup plans. However, if you are expecting EXTENDED time of black out(like in Long Island), a generator is more reasonable because not just for your tank but also for your household.

At 850w running it will provide enough juice for a heater, return pump, powerhead. It is a very small generator, but will work for small applications.
PLEASE TAKE CARE TO RUN IT OUTSIDE WITH PROPER VENTILATION AND AT LEAST 10' FROM ANY WINDOW.

You know Matt, if you go a bigger you can charge your neighbors by the hour for extra plugs and make a few bucks while running the tank $$$$$.
I was at the HD in Valley Stream late this afternoon to grab an extra gas can ...and they already have no generators left to sell 
I will be placing the 'sticky' on top of the forum tonight outlining different things you can do if you lose power this weekend. DO take a look at it and prepare now!!

I bought two of the car boosters that have AC outlets. If I don't use them then I'll return them. GL everyone.
