If there's anything I have learned through all the hurricanes I have gone through - it's to have a working generator and plenty of gas on hand. Plan for at least one full week (or more) for power to be off.
Also, make sure you have at least one window AC unit....two would be even better. Ones that have plugs for 110v. You can run them off the generator along with the refrigerator, washing machine, fan(s), TV/DVD player, microwave, and lamps.
Most dryers use 220v - and my generator can provide that - I just don't care about going that far with it.
Keep plenty of soup, water, juice, and other provisions on hand - and don't forget what's needed for the 4-legged children!
