Speaking of.......I just went and bought a 2500 watt generator from a guy no less than 2 hours ago for this very reason. Used twice, looks brand new and cranks on 1 pull.

I'm not so much worried about lighting if the powers only going to be out a day or so, but I got it to push my pump, skimmers etc. I could push all them without even scatching the surface of what the generator can do, so I can run some lamps, a tv and assorted other household items as well.

Best $175 I ever spent.

It's amazing, spending 300 bucks on a plastic skimmer that basically bubbles water, but spent half that on something that can power most of my house in an emergency.
