You bury a larger tank in the ground. Its been done here in Stonecrest. Perfectly safe. You could use 20 LB. Bottles. How long those bottles last is up to you. I was not here for the last Hurricane. If Natural Gas is available its the better choice. But if I had to choose between Gasoline and Propane, I'll take the Propane. Its a far safer choice. They actually made deliveries of Propane one week after the Hurricane. When the hurricane season is over I'd use the propane for the grill. If I put in a generator I'd bury a tank. Hook it to the grill and the generator. You use power differently in an emergency. My neighbor purchased a small window air conditioner. With his generator he ran a few lights, the window air conditioner at night, and the refrigerator. Had ice and refrigeration. Power was back on 3 days later in our area. The worst case was 7 days in another part of the complex. We also have a few people who are totally off the power grid.
