If you live in the Villages, you have experienced a power outage in the past 12 years. Maybe you were away, sleeping or whatever, but it's happened. That said, if you can turn off the A/C and the refrigerator or whatever else you can, that's fine and prudent eventhough you probably don't need to. Can't hurt.
