The effects of Hurricane Charley and Frances are being felt far beyond Florida. The tag team tandem just put the entire portable generator marketplace on backorder. In Ohio, Tony Holder tried to purchase a generator at his local home improvement store, only to find the shelves empty with the entire inventory on a truck headed south. In Florida, new generators are as scarce as snowballs, with the demand overshadowing the supply. Customers are forced to wait in long lines with lottery numbers, hoping for a "chance" to get one of the few arriving generators.
Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated.
Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore that dropships directly from the manufacturer's warehouses, is completely sold out. The company is now accepting backorders on all new generators. According to Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct, generator manufacturers build enough inventory to weather a major event.
Even after Hurricane Charley blew ashore, most manufacturers had some inventory still available. Hurricane Frances, however, took every remaining piece. This isn't the first time a one-two punch has put the generator marketplace on backorder.
Just last year, the Great Northeast Blackout exhausted the surplus inventory traditionally reserved for hurricane season. By the time Hurricane Isabel hit the East Coast one month later, every available generator in the country evaporated.
Like last year, Hoch estimates that it will take generator manufacturers several months to fully replenish supplies throughout the country. It could take even longer if suppliers run out of critical component parts. "Why wait for retailers to restock their shelves and hope to get one?" asks Hoch. If you want a generator before the next storm hits, he recommends ordering direct from the factory. The generator will be shipped directly from the assembly line to your door, bypassing the warehouse.
According to Hoch, the backorder list grows longer every minute. If you wait to order, it could take a month or more to receive your generator.

Standby Power: How to Pick the Perfect Home Standby Generator
Romeoville, IL (ContentDesk) May 1, 2006 -- Just a few years ago, the thought of owning a standby generator seemed preposterous. Now, living without electricity, especially in Hurricane country, is all too common. "You shouldn't be worrying about how often the power goes down," says Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore. "Instead, you should be worrying about what happens when the power goes out." Without electricity, basements can flood. Security systems can falter.
Home-based businesses can fail. Just one power outage can result in thousands of dollars of damage, warns Hoch. Standby Generators Many homeowners and businesses simply cannot afford to ride out another power outage. Instead, they are installing emergency standby generators in record numbers to protect their families and investments. The concept is really simple....

Transfer of Power How to Safely Restore Power to Your Home
Hurricane Charley is quickly teaching homeowners a valuable lesson about taking electricity for granted.
The Category Four hurricane knocked out power to nearly a million homes in Florida, and many residents are still living without power.
Homeowners are now using portable generators in record numbers to safely restore power to their homes.
"Getting a generator is one thing," says Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com). "Getting the electricity into the house is another."According to Hoch, extension cords are fine for small generators because you can only plug in one or two appliances.
The most common way to use a portable electric generator is to place it outdoors, then run extension cords through an open window or door to the chosen appliances.
Extension cords have several drawbacks. First, most extension cords can...

Teens are Hungry for Personal Power – Adults’ Responsibility to Show How to Get Power
Austin, TX (ContentDesk) February 22, 2006 -- Discovering personal power as a
teenager is an important aspect of growing up. However, when teens discover their personal power they get the independence they desire, but may not yet know how to handle this power. The key for adults is not to convince teens that they have the power, as they already sense it even if theyre not fully expressing it, but to model for them how to use their power responsibly, claims educator and motivational speaker Roger Leslie. When were responsible for ourselves and respectful of others needs and wants as well, we can make sound decisions that keep us out of the dangers teens sometimes meet by making reckless choices.Telling teens to do something or even giving them convincing reasons why they should is never as powerful a motivator as showing by example the strengths and benefits derived from going after what you believe will make you happy.
Leslie believes that parents must consistently...
