Home depot sells these single use squeeze tubes of gas stabilizer that will make the gas easily go that long. I would do that just to be safe, those cans usually get moisture in them rather quickly and the treatment will help

I was in Thibodaux, New Berlin, and Harahan the past two days inspecting roof damage. Thibodaux got the worst of it. I saw lots of downed power poles as well as lots of trees fallen over.

I managed to get almost a $1,000,000 in re-roofs though in 24 hours. Not too bad!

They got it horribly I know. Thats just light stuff in the pics. It of been 15x worse here if it came just 30-50miles east.
