Either one can put us out of power for days to weeks. I also live out in a rual area where we are the last to get power back.
I just retired and at my wife's and my age, I don't want to sit in a house after a hurricane for days on end in 90+ degree weather.
Like others have mentioned, when the power goes off, I'd like to enjoy life with full power capability.
