In you have a natural gas line, convert generator to run on natural gas, which appears to be the one thing that did not get shut off in the storm! Much easier than fighting lines at gas stations when everyone else is trying to get generator fuel! I'm also looking for a cheap used Propane fridge from an old RV - they use very little fuel, and besides it's a shame to run a generator just to keep your beer cold!
If you don't have a good cooler like an Engle that keeps ice for a week, spend a few bucks on a cheap foam 2" thick Low Boy cooler and get some dry ice before the storm. They sell it here at Publix. A piece of dry ice about the size of a brick will keep stuff in a 3 cubic ft cooler frozen rock solid for about 3 days in 90 degree heat if you put duct tape around the top seam!
