Why You Need a Standby Generator for Your Kokomo, IN Home
Did you know that South Bend and Indianapolis are among the top nine cities in the U.S. that experience F3 to F5 tornadoes that track along the ground for more than 25 miles? And right smack in the middle is your Kokomo, Indiana home. That’s why you need to purchase a standby generator from Tri-State Water, Power & Air to keep your home running even when nasty weather hits.
“Tornado Alley” Is Shifting to the North and East
On August 24, 2016, seven tornadoes from F0 to F3 hit central Indiana, causing major storm damage. An F3 tornado touched down at 3:20 p.m. It was on the ground for only 8.78 miles and was just 300 yards wide, but it caused widespread power outages.
On November 17, 2013, tornadoes also blanketed central Indiana, with two F2 tornadoes hitting Kokomo. There were no serious injuries, but 60 homes and about 25 businesses were destroyed. More than 300 homes and commercial buildings were damaged, and power was out all over town.
Electrical outages were, of course, widespread after both sets of tornadoes. But if you’d had a Tri-State home standby generator, you’d have been in good shape, because your generator would’ve kicked on within seconds of losing electricity.
A standby generator installation makes sense for Kokomo residents, especially those who remember the devastation of those historic tornadoes. Standby generators can keep your food from thawing and being ruined in your fridge and freezer, make sure vital medical equipment runs, and give you a respite from outdoor temperatures as you help rebuild your community.
Why Wait? Call Tri-State Water, Power & Air for Your New Standby Generator
Whether you’ve ever lived through any tornadoes in Kokomo, IN, you should still have a standby generator on hand in case of another electricity-disrupting storm comes along. Blizzards aren’t uncommon in Indiana, and they can knock out power just as easily. So, contact Tri-State Water, Power & Air to learn more about the home standby generators we sell and install.
