Those who have medical conditions may need a generator.

After we lost our house and all its contents(we did salvage a 100 yr old rocking chair) in Katrina we moved to Texas and started over. When we heard hurricane Ike was headed to Houston in 2008 we packed a bag and flew to Disney World where we stayed until the electricity was back on. My advice to you is save your money. Get good insurance. When a hurricane is coming go somewhere for a vacation until it is over. Even if you have a generator devastation around you may make the area uninhabitable or at least inoperable. Take it from someone who has been there.

Back-up generators, game changer

Unfortunately there are lots of folks who can’t just pick up and leave. Police, first responders, hospital workers, etc. So preparing for a severe storm has to be taken seriously. I’ve had to ride out storms many times. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Most of the people in TV are not working. Put the money you are going to use for a generator and the monthly estimated cost of maintenance in a savings account and when you need to leave you have the money to travel....

And to those who say just travel until the power is back on - come on. Travel is difficult for some. They may not be able to just go away for a while. |

Just the report of snow in ATL is enough to shut the city down. I drove all over the place picking up staff because they don’t know how to drive it in. I-75 was a parking lot full of thousands of abandoned cars and trucks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Being prepared for a disaster is a wise move. We live in a much more fragile community then we may think. There are more things that can go wrong then just a storm. Today there are threats every where, from Nature, and our fellow man. Having a backup plan is not a bad idea. You may find you can't leave. Other may have little choice but to stay. Fortunately here in Florida our biggest threat is a Hurricane. Lots of warning to the coming of disaster. Just a bit farther North, you've got Tornadoes. Little warning there. 5 days of food and water in the pantry is not a bad idea. Backup generator to power some essentials is not that expensive. If you think that local government has your back you are going be very disappointed. Also you need to have a little common sense. If they are predicting the Hurricane as a Cat 5 and probably going directly over your head, if you can, get out and hide out of the way. Get out early unless you care to be in the I-75 Parking Lot. Personally, I can replace things, I can't replace the people I love. |

I understand & agree with you. We left Taxachusetts after the Blizzard of ‘78. I Cross Country skied to work for 10 days after the snow stopped. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
