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.
