Sorry to contradict, but “never say never.” We moved here from Jacksonville, Fl…arguably much further north than TV and lost power for 3 days in Matthew and 2 days in IRMA. So the North-South argument falls flat. The “more inland” argument might hold—hurricanes lose energy over land. The reason for fewer outages here is that 95% of the power lines are buried. Did we get rid of our generator? Not on your life…and the portable AC is still taking up space in a closet. Try 4hrs, let alone 4days, without AC. Then you’ll wish you had bought that $400 generator when you could—because they WILL be hard to come by when Jim Cantore starts spouting the worst. For about $600 (AC & Gen) we KNOW we’ll be able to sleep, and our groceries will be safe, when the wind starts to blow…
