We will prepare appropriately for this one. Everyone should. Then we will hunker down and keep each other safe and sound. Same wish to all.

As for power, during Ian mine blinked once and then a few hours later again but stayed on both times. For Idalia (2023) no power lost as well as Helene just the previous week, though my sister's house lost power 10 minutes away from my house. This will be my 4th Florida hurricane since moving here in May 2022. Experienced 2 in Hawaii, the 1982 one was really wet and the 1992 one was like nothing on Oahu but Kauai got battered both times. When you watch the 1st Jurassic Park that's the hurricane weather going on.
