<The Montreal Ice Storm comes to mind. It was an unexpected crisis, lasting 2 - 3 weeks in the dead of winter, over a large geographic region and affecting a large metropolitan city.> So, is it your opinion that it would have been better for people not to have had generators for heat and electricity during this ice-storm that lasted 2-3 weeks? It's a shame that 20 died because they didn't read their instructions or didn't know how to operate a generator. But, do you honestly believe people would have been better off without generators during an ice storm that lasted 2-3 weeks ... in the dead of winter? A Canadian winter, at that? How many would have died then? Give me a break. Cheryl
