I think most people would avoid handling power cords in the rain, whether it is shore power or a generator. But there is always that one guy...
Someone above mentioned that the Honda will run okay in the rain, and as far as I know that is correct. Mine got caught uncovered when the rain came up, and although we were in camp, for whatever reason I did not go out and rescue it. It ran fine, but it made a big mess, including sand up in the feet and base plate area. I'm still hauling that sand around in the basement, and it just keeps rattling more out.
So safe or not, I don't want to leave my Honda out in the rain.
