So if the season is predicted to be worse than average, what would you do different?

1. Get the basement storage up on pallets? I don't have a basement.
2. Buy sandbags? The Villages has a great water management system, and again, I don't have a basement or even a crawlspace.
3. Buy a generator? Don't need it for a well, don't need it for heat. If the power is off too long I'll go to a rec center that has power and hang out in the AC there. Unless the power is off 24 hours or more, leave your fridge closed. Or have a huge BBQ if things thaw.
4. Leave? I suppose if it's going to hit us dead center. But we live in central Florida vs the coasts for a reason. Not much better place to be if in Florida.
