Just got awakened by my phone due to a severe thunderstorm warning. We got high winds and heavy rain right now. Lots of lightening. Living in the middle of a forest can be interesting at times. Ahh, the auto generator just kicked on.

Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I've been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They're silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.
