We have been here (village of Pinellas) since 2013, I can count the number of outages on one hand, and even when IRMA and IAN hit, we never lost power. I think the longest outage was well under 2 hours, probably around 1 hour.

Now if you are still worried, I would get a small say 2 kW INVERTER generator, find a suitable location OUTSIDE the house away from openings, and have a suitable power entrance installed. Then you can use an extension cord for your absolutely equipment. We actually have 2 and shortly a 3rd UPS to cover critical equipment.
