After Irma in 2017 and things calmed down we bought a generator. Best insurance to not lose electricity, we started it when we bought it and the second time was the fall of 2024 as were preparing for a possible hurricane. We bought a dual fuel meaning either gas or propane. In 2024 I hooked up the LP tank and three pulls it started, never used gasoline in the generator. We have eight LP tanks with each tank providing about 10 hours of run time. It is a 5,000-watt generator which if needed we could plug in the refrigerator for periods of time, microwave and we have a floor fan if needed. We have plenty of solar lights to bring in if needed along with battery powered candles.
Keep things charged if it looks like we might lose power, phones, watches, and computers. Both electric companies that supply The Villages SECO and Duke Power have outage maps and information on their websites. Sometimes it is just a transformer and maybe be without power a few hours or, let’s not talk about!
