I should also add, in 2004 I had 2 storm eyes over my house. Almost no damage at my home, I lost my office I will post that experience when I have time and maybe a beer in my hand.

In 2005 I had another storm eye over my house. No Damage.


In 2017 I had Irma pass near me. No damage.


In every case I went from 1 week to 1 month with no power.

Seems our power companies cannot figure out how to shore up their infrastructure to weather a storm.


Want to discuss Japan and their ability to go back to work a day after a a typhoon?



Edit 1 more point.

I just spent 14K on a new metal roof with the only thought in my head being "this will hold up better in a hurricane."

I just spent 20K on impact windows on the back of my house with the only thought being, this will make getting ready for a storm easier.
