1. Yes.
2. I don't know if our model can, but I would think there are some that can run on LP or both NG/LP.

Thanks!
A generator that can run on either NG, LNG, or LP would be awesome. NG for when the electricity fails, but the natural gas is still coming to the house, and then a couple of big LP tanks for more serious emergencies.

Haha, I was hoping nobody would ask that. I was really tired when I was typing, and it doesn't make as much sense now in the light of day. Something about a water pump and "all is well".
It made sense at 3am. lol
I looked at the radar when it started pouring...we were kind of on the edge of it. Like the other storms, it drifted south east too. That's probably why we didn't get the whole effect. (I live on the south end of the county).

Here is an example for you. NG is the regular source but can also run on LP vapor.

16 hours later and still without power. Fridge and freezer still ok but much longer and it will be a complete loss. Duke says back on by 6:00 p.m. It's never been out this long before. Time to buy a genny.
Can you go buy some ice and put in the fridge and freezer? Or at least load up a cooler or tub with ice and stuff?

Oh yeah, I've got about ten minutes of backup power left for our wireless connection. Out for now.

Yep, already done so. That's why we've made it as long as we have so far. I think we may be ok. Gotta save battery. BBL.
I would not live anywhere without a genny. You know where I am at and I have 3 of them.
Just curious, do you have that many outages, living in town? I'm out, kinda near the end of a REMC branch circuit and there's maybe 3-4 times in 11 years where I would have gone to all the trouble of dragging one (or three
) of them out and hooking them up. Maybe we've just been lucky.
Power is still out (went out about 1:15 a.m). Generator is up and running, so the sump pump, freezers, and refigierators are good to go. Still wishing I'd have had that transfer switch put in, but we are finally getting that done tomorrow. Word is we might get power back tomorrow, but there are still a ton of trees and lines down, I'm betting it will be Friday before we get power back.

You betcha!
Neighbor's tree got hit by lightning and fell into my yard. It fell on the power lines and ripped all the attached components off our house. I had to take the day off work to get an electrician out to fix it so the power company could hook us back up. I also spent most of the day with the chainsaw out cleaning up the mess. It could have been much worse though, and the power is back on.
At least it was the tree getting hit by lightening rather than your house and electronics!
