1) Our ceiling fan has a three-foot stem because the roof over it is sloped so don't worry about the folks on here saying you must be mistaken. We've weathered three or four storms since we've been here and the fan has been just fine. It is under a roof surrounded on three sides with the fourth side open to the bird cage with no damage. Do what feels safe for you. 2) I joined the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and in the training, when people asked where we would relocate to in a hurricane, the instructor said, "This is where people relocate TO in a hurricane." Yep, we had friends from St. Pete stay with us a week last year when Milton hit there.
