/\ This! A couple of ice storms ago, a family put a generator on the front porch with cords entering via a window but during the night enough CO got in via the gap that several died.
Now is the time to get some good heavy duty extension cords before the storm hits and they all vanish from the stores. Test out how you will connect everything. Good chance you will need more cords and/or multi-taps. Plan how they run in the house. Don't want to be warm during the storm only to have to make a run to the ER because someone tripped over a cord and busted open their head.
