Same experience but we lived in S. Florida and were struck by hurricanes with winds in the 90+MPH range. Needed generator for 7 days after a storm and 4 days after a storm. Most garages in TV are smaller and had no room for the generator. Typing this as I watch the trees sway in the 20 MPH range. Best thing about TV is 99% or higher underground power.
