It's just a small 6000 watt unit. Not plugged into the house, just use extension cords. It's in the garage for storage during the storm (there's not even any gas in it)
Normally it's stored in my shop out back but who wants to go retrieve it in the middle of a storm when the power goes out. Hmmm. Although, I have 2 full gas cans that are stored in my shop and will stay there till needed.
Fumes ? No way I would run it inside the garage. Being a retired professional firefighter, I am well aware of carbon monoxide poisoning.

OK I thought you had a manual switch gear wired into the fuse panel. Some people will back feed into the house using the 220V outlet from a electric dryer. Others with larger units use an automatic switchgear. Be safe and dry.

I’d consider putting it on jackstands as high as I could , but a flood is still a flood.
you take care and stay dry and safe!

Today was a drive out this morning for the photo op of young Hudson getting on the bus and headed for his first day of JK.

I don't think they do the drops anymore for a normal eye exam. I just had one and they do a puff of air instead. Unless you have other eye issues. Good luck.

Eye drops are used to dilate the eye to get a better look inside it through the lens. The puff of air is to check eye pressure. Also they can use a ball end probe to touch the eye to do the same thing.

Pretty sure they have a new way to check the eye without the drops to dilate, at least thats what my last two checkups where like. The last time I had the drops, had to be the brightest day out, the cross walk was quite a challenge, blindly walking out into traffic, LOL.
Good Luck regardless.
