Generator use
 

I understand completely the banning of generator use during quiet times however changing the law to include non-quiet time hours is ridiculous.  There are many people that use medicines, breathing nebulizers needed for treatments, etc that need to run on electricity. Charging of wheelchairs also would be a concern.  Stipulating quiet times is very understandable but keeping someone from running generator when there are dogs barking and people hollering and kids screaming is a little ridiculous. Also, if Virginia wants people to use their state parks in July and August when temperatures during the day reach 90's and 100's then they will either have to provide electricity at ALL their camper sights or allow the generators. Due to the extreme heat factor I believe it would be against the law solely based on health reasons to prohibit the use of an air conditioner if one had one to use.
