I bought a huge snow blower after the blizzard of '78 in Massachusetts...I'd still be looking to break even on that sucker
the older areas of TV were without power for much longer than we were...and maybe it was just plain luck
that said, if you want to have electricity no matter what...go for it if it will make you happy and feel safe....it's short money
I've been in FL full time now since 2015...been through a few hurricanes...I'm still trying to get my head around buying or not buying a generator

You were lucky in Pine Hills if you only lost power for 8 hours. Parts of Pine Ridge were out for 18 hours during Irma. Both villages are served by Leesburg Electric.
