I see several folks raving about the add-on bidets, maybe that will save us if tp disappears. Personally I don't think I will go the way of the spray.

I haven't paid attention, does our water pressure come from water towers or pumping stations? I worked for a small water dept in my early years that used water towers for their pressure, during power outages we had a big diesel generator that pumped the water up to the tower.

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.

3 bathrooms no tub, but 5 gallons of distilled water, 30 cans of Yuengling, 64 bottles of super expensive wine, and 40 assorted sparkling ice and soda, 2 cases of water.

Exlarge pizza, 2 jars of PB, bread, cheese, crackers and homemade rice krispy treats


Were good.

Possibility of 30MPH winds., Just left Columbia River in Oregon. 30 MPH winds every day

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).

Developer plan’s well, makes every effort that water doesn’t encroach homes. But you will find Many unhappy that the golf courses are where the extra water ends up. Since the courses are closed tomorrow let the complaining begin, and those who’s house didn’t end up with pond water, do a happy dance.

I agree the civil engineering is top notch. However, I said that the ponds near me are very HIGH (the water is way past the tree line). There are certainly houses near those ponds that are in peril of some water (probably just in unenclosed lanais, or in pool enclosures or in birdcages) in a PROLONGED HEAVY RAIN EVENT, as some predictions currently are calling for a stall, hopefully it is just typical fear mongering. I have noticed that some courses are already being flooded & the sprinklers have been running on the roadway verges. I hope the current high waters that I see in ponds near me are not anywhere near where you are.
