On the heat side, I wonder if dipping in the pool on a regular basis would keep you from melting if we have an extended outage.

I hope you lose neither power nor water in Lake Denham.
I too am relatively new & so far my understanding is in Sumter County with SECO power losing either water or power is a rarity. I have been told they lost neither in the last major storm - hurricane Irma, I believe in '17.
Flood waters might be an issue if a house is near a pond/lake/etc. Right now ponds near me are HIGH. A prolonged - very prolonged, heavy rain might be a cause for concern for some unenclosed lanais, bordering ponds.
At the moment, high winds don't seem to be headed our way.
As for heat from lack of electricity, I don't have much advice. Battery operated fans? Power packs that can power fans? What about food? I'm lost without the A/C & microwave
Good luck! & let us know how you fare during the storm.
Post Script: Last year during hurricane Idalia (very early in the morning, I walked my pup. The storm was a non event as far as I was concerned).
