We all like to complain about electric rates, etc., but they deserved a round of applause for their performance. There were over 500 here in sleepy Moultonborough without power.

Is your generator a whole house generator or a portable. If whole house, they normally test themselves on a regular basis.
I have a portable (does power my whole house) that I start on a regular (sort of) basis, every couple of months or so. I run 93 octane and treat the gas with Startron. I let it run for 15 mins or so. I did fire it up the day before the storm and it started on its normal second pull.
Sorry for all your damage.
