Another fun fact about Florida and Hurricanes.
Here, we have what are called "Barrier Islands" These are densely populated and some of the most expensive real estate. They are connected to the mainland of Florida by a series of causeways.
In the event of a hurricane, the barrier islands are evacuated. The public is then informed that all emergency services (police, fire, ambulance) are leaving the islands and the causeways are closed to all traffic. If you choose to stay and get in over your head (literally or figuratively) NOBODY is coming to help you until after the storm passes.
Amazingly enough, that seems to work - people actually leave.
Jim - I keep a large supply of 2 liter bottles and\or gallon milk jugs during the season, when a storm gets close, fill them about 3/4ths full of water and throw them in a chest freezer - keeps the food cold and it is clean drinking water.
Small generator will power a fridge, chest freezer, and a window AC unit (makes sleeping tolerable)- cook on your BBQ
