We are on 3 acres on a hill. We are not worried so much of flooding, but the wind. We have lots of trees and we are at the end of the electrical grid for our area. Have a generator that will handle 1 refrigerator and chest freezer so it all depends on how long electric might be out. I always say...it is what it is and we will be ok.
Well there’s uncertainty how powerful the winds will be ..... once it passes Cuba you can bet all eyes will be on Ian to see just what it’s going to do - and how much it intensifies.
When my brother moved to Florida he made certain to purchase his home on higher ground because of the Hurricane threats. He has a couple generators as well. Plus hurricane shutters. He’s been there 30 yrs and so far only lost a portion of his yard fencing. However he has said when they hit it’s no fun when they go slow and endless rain and howling.
If you’re on a hill in FL, you must live near Crestview.
