Featured product: Electric generators
------------------------------------------------------

Severe thunderstorms, high winds, and flooding have all led to power 
outages in the Upper Midwest this summer. And let's not forget how bad 
things were back in winter, when ice storms and 50 mph winds knocked out 
power repeatedly, as well.

While power outages are a serious nuisance for many people, they can be 
extremely hazardous when they threaten health and safety -- whether 
that's for people who rely on electrical power for their medical 
equipment, like respirators or dialysis machines, or for communities 
that need to retain their water and sanitary sewer services for 
everything from fire protection to the protection of basic health and 
welfare.

Since power outages likely won't ever be eliminated, portable electrical 
generators remain a valuable source of backup power for families, 
businesses, and municipalities. We offer a range of economical portable 
generators through our website, available to the public at large at very 
competitive prices, and ranging in size up to 10,000 watts.

And, of course, the same generator that can make life easier in an 
emergency is perfectly good to use during camping and tailgating season, 
too.

and ask for details.
