🔌 Useful this morning: If a portable generator is running during an outage, keep it outdoors and at least 20 feet from windows, doors, and attached garages. Ready.gov also recommends working carbon-monoxide detectors on every level, heavy-duty extension cords, keeping the generator dry, and letting it cool before refueling. Never use a grill or fuel-burning device indoors.
