Why? Manufacturers haven't had enough time to catch up with last year's devastating hurricanes and ice storms. Generator manufacturers were building backorders as late as March and April. Now, with Florida residents buying up generators in record numbers in May, manufacturers had just a month or two to build significant inventory. According to Hoch, many popular generators are already on backorder. "If you wait for the first hurricane develop before ordering, there's a good chance that you'll be in the dark when it hits."

Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated. Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore that dropships directly from the manufacturer's warehouses, is completely sold out. The company is now accepting backorders on all new generators. According to Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct, generator manufacturers build enough inventory to weather a major event.

Even after Hurricane Charley blew ashore, most manufacturers had some inventory still available. Hurricane Frances, however, took every remaining piece. This isn't the first time a one-two punch has put the generator marketplace on backorder. Just last year, the Great Northeast Blackout exhausted the surplus inventory traditionally reserved for hurricane season. By the time Hurricane Isabel hit the East Coast one month later, every available generator in the country evaporated.

Like last year, Hoch estimates that it will take generator manufacturers several months to fully replenish supplies throughout the country. It could take even longer if suppliers run out of critical component parts. "Why wait for retailers to restock their shelves and hope to get one?" asks Hoch. If you want a generator before the next storm hits, he recommends ordering direct from the factory. The generator will be shipped directly from the assembly line to your door, bypassing the warehouse.

According to Hoch, the backorder list grows longer every minute. If you wait to order, it could take a month or more to receive your generator.

Many desperate homeowners had no choice but to buy overpriced professional-grade generators with features they'd never use. And some customers waited up to four months to receive their backordered generator. "By the time Ivan and Jean hit, it was impossible to find a reconditioned generator, let alone a new one," say Hoch. The Calm Before the Storm Climatologist William Gray recently revised his 2005 hurricane forecast, predicting 13 named tropical storms in the Atlantic, seven of which will become hurricanes, with three turning into major storms with winds clocking speed in excess of 111 miles per hour. Generator manufacturers are working overtime to replenish their inventories.

Many popular models are finally off backorder for the first time since last August. According to Hoch, now is the best time to purchase an emergency generator in nearly a year. "Generator prices are influenced by the simple economics of supply and demand," says Hoch. "The best time to buy is between power outages, when supplies are plentiful and promotions are prevalent."Even reconditioned generators, which were impossible to find just a few months ago, are slowly becoming available. But don't expect the inventory to last long, warns Hoch.Last year, millions of homeowners learned the importance of advanced emergency planning the hard way.

This year, however, many homeowners aren't willing to wait for a tropical storm to develop before bracing for the worst.

no pull cord, no blowers and, most importantly, no wondering whether the motor 'turned-over'.

But due to the advances of technology the things around us became a lot easier, convenient and better. Much more for those persons who became dependent others due to they do not have anything around them to use all by themselves. Thanks a lot to the invention of electric wheelchairs that made things a lot easier. Electric wheelchairs have been there for a number of years and have provided thousands of people with the mobility they need to get from one place to another. Everyone is familiar with the standard old style of wheelchair that required a person to manually move the wheels.

Some people had others that would grip the handle bars at the back of the chair and push it to where it needed to go.However, some people benefited very much from this system, there were many others that could not use their arms to move their wheelchair for long periods of time and others had intricacy in moving the chair at all. More often than not, these people were left at the hands of a friend, relative or other obliging person that would push them to their destinations. During the early invention of the electric wheelchair it seemed that it was just for limited people who can afford to have one and who can use it alone well. The development was a result of seeing paraplegic veterans return from World War II in need of a form of transportation. The first electric wheelchair was made essentially with a typical wheelchair and then a small motor attached to the wheels.

The chair was restricted by a small joystick placed at the proper distance on an armrest to allow ease and comfort of use of the stick for directing the chair. Innovations have been made in many different areas of electric wheelchairs since the early days of strapping a motor to a regular chair. The chairs built today have a superior mobility than any before. Some have the capacity to climb over limits along the side of the road and one can even climb up a set of stairs.Motors have become more and more powerful, offering greater speeds of travel while remaining safe and greater distances that can be traveled on a fully charged battery. The seats have been modified to provide the best comfort possible to the occupant that will spend many hours in it.

This is a huge improvement that anyone who has sat in the old style of chair will quickly be glad about. Isn't cool and reliable?Lastly, when it comes to choosing the appropriate wheelchair for you, there are more options and models of electric wheelchairs that are available today that you can choose from, according to your desired look, comfort ability and budget of course..
