Not at all surprised at any of this. I don't believe we will ever know the truth and fully expect it to be underestimated forever.https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article242698551.html

Exactly. Most people think it's the wind that kills and that is what they fear. It's the water. They stay put because they're stubborn or ignorant or trapped, then once the water infiltrates their house, they jump in their car to try to leave. People drive thru it and drown.First 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook
I think that a lot of people, not from the area, don't realize that a tropical storm can be just as damaging as a hurricane. I remember TS Faye, just kept circling and circling. Dumped 30 inches or more rain in PSL, over 2 days.
So far, I've never had to leave the house even when the 4 hurricanes hit - the power outage is the absolute worst for me. I want to look into Generac for the whole house but my HOA has banned propane tanks so I have to see if there is an alternative. I don't have a portable generator. sigh.Thanks for the article. With Michael people really only had 2 days to get out. With projected landfall in any one of 4 states, everyone was waiting to see where it would go, and with that sudden turn it was too late for the people in its path. I just hope the counties and state are prepared as they say they are, and the shelters are safe so COVID19 won’t spread again.
Super happy to hear how careful and thoughtful they are. I know they appreciate your loyalty too.I just went to my hair appointment...was so pleased. She has been my stylist for several years. I have to say, they had it so together. It’s a small shop, 3 stylists spaced very far apart. When you arrive, there is a large sign that says please wait in your car and your stylist will come get you. There is hand sanitizer, masks at the front door with directions what to do, and napkins if you should need to touch the front door after sanitizing. All appointments were spaced out and stations sanitized after every person, sanitizer all over. If you get color, you wait outside or in your car (they had tables and chairs outside that you can move around the side yard area). You get a new mask after color rinse, then cut, styled. Everyone is masked.
I’ll admit that this morning I was second guessing even though I was assured prior to my appointment, but so glad I went. I feel like a million bucks now without feeling compromised. This is the way all places should do this. I asked her about customers coming back. She has many regulars like me, but said about maybe 5-6 lost their jobs and are going to hold off for a bit. Everyone else is coming.... @PayrollNerd asked about this, so I was sure to ask.
I’m looking at an electric one that I can keep inside. I’ve been reading reviews. Not that it will last that long but it will keep a cell phone powered, a small lamp or fan and a small mini fridge.

We have stayed home too. We have talked about a Generac Stand By Generator, but have never done it. We would have to do propane. We are now on our second portable Generac generator. They are the original and the best and last a long time if properly maintained.So far, I've never had to leave the house even when the 4 hurricanes hit - the power outage is the absolute worst for me.

Interesting about the inverter and marine battery. I will watch YouTube videos and see what that involves.If you don't want propane or gas, my suggestion is get an Inverter and a marine battery. I used that during Irma and it kept the fan powered all night, i could charge all my electronics and then recharge the battery from my vehicles OR take in into Batteries Plus and they'd charge it back up for me. I now have a propane generator and a portable AC unit i can plug into it, I'm in Sarasota. FPL is starting to put in underground lines in my neighborhood, hopefully sooner than later.
I can understand HOA setting parameters for architectural style, paint color, storage, landscaping, business use, etc. Anything that impacts visual impression of neighborhood. But what is the basis for the propane ban? Does that include grill stations? Seems like a restriction that could be challenged- not that the average Tom, Dick or Harry want to subject themselves to the rigamarole of a lawsuit. Still... that’s really obnoxious you don’t have the Generac option.So far, I've never had to leave the house even when the 4 hurricanes hit - the power outage is the absolute worst for me.

The stats and process by which nursing homes and their patients were dealt with is interesting.
Deroy Murdock: On coronavirus and nursing homes, DeSantis and Cuomo offer life-and-death contrast
With New York’s 5,352 COVID-19 nursing-home deaths, its fatality rate is 27.5 per 100,000 among 19,453,561 denizens. With Florida’s 665 such decedents, its death rate is 3.1 per 100,000 of its 21,477,737 people.
We are purchasing a portable generator next week, which will be able to run a refrigerator, fan, and charge items. We are also looking into a smaller solar generator to use at night. We lost power during Irma, and don't want to go through that again.I’m looking at an electric one that I can keep inside. I’ve been reading reviews.

Are you looking at electric or the propane / gas one? I looked at a video of a marine battery and inverter. Holy hurricane that was over my head.We are purchasing a portable generator next week, which will be able to run a refrigerator, fan, and charge items.

I have never looked into propane. Is it expensive and how expensive is a standard size tank?
