Not quite sure myself.  I do have a small generator which could be used until 
they could restore the natural gas.  I also have people that could put fuel 
into the generator, but the same argument could apply in that particular case.  
It takes an enormous amount of fuel to generate a sufficient amount of power 
and given what happened in southern Florida last year (lack of electricity led 
to the inability of gas stations to pump gas out) (hopefully they will mandate 
that gas stations be required to have alternate power sources, even if the 
state has to subsidize this) I am not sure which is better.  Maybe natural gas 
is the best solution.
  
Perhaps someone else from the regions where hurricane strike can weigh in on 
this particular subject.

  What then would be the best source for alternative fuel for your application. 
 If fossil fuel, could you fill and refill the fuel tank when necessary?

  My only problem or better yet concern is that if it is powered by natural 
gas, this wouldn't help me very much if you the event of a hurricane, they shut 
off the natural gas supply.  They often do this to prevent disastrous leaks and 
if the natural gas company loses power, no natural gas.
