NC-specific reasons for a generator
Hurricane season (June–November): The Triangle is far enough inland to avoid the worst storm surge, but extended power outages from hurricanes and tropical storms are common. Hurricane Florence (2018) left parts of the Triangle without power for 3–5 days.
Ice storms: Piedmont NC gets ice storms that bring down power lines and tree limbs. These are harder to predict than hurricanes and can knock out power for days.
Summer thunderstorms: Severe afternoon storms cause localized outages throughout the summer months.
A standby generator eliminates all of these — your power stays on within 10 seconds of an outage, automatically.
