    Seems a bit obvious I know but is there a chance that it's tripping the gfi on the generator. Try multiple receptacles also, sometimes the blades can get worn out in the receptacles if it's a well...

    Rain could have easily ran down the tree then on the tap and in which would make sense too. I didn't keep track of which buckets were more colored, but I do have a couple trees that have very dark...
