Having underground power does not mean anything in a major storm. I don't live in TV yet. ( 3 more years) We live 60 miles east in Deltona. We also have under ground local power, but in 2004 we got hit by 3 hurricanes: for Charlie we lost power for a week, the next one only for a couple of days. having a generator is nice, but where do you get fuel for it after the first day ? And if you buy fuel ahead of time, where do you store it ?
If you get hit with a major storm, there won't be any gas within 30 miles of the path of the storm, nor will there be any open stores. During Charlie all the major stores lost all their food, most took 2 weeks to reopen.
This isn't anything against TV, or Florida living, its just life, you can get by without a generator. Most of your niebohors (sp) will.
