I moved to Orlando from Denver several years ago just in time to have Hurricanes Charlie, Francis, and Jean roll right over my house with 3 months of each other. I had no idea how strong those storms could get when the first one ripped my roof and caved in most of the drywall of my home. By the time Francis showed up I was a friggin expert. storm shudders, generator and transfer switch, chain saw, food/water, gas, cash, roof nails, fans, propane, portable A/C, lamps, ammo, furring strips, tarps, tarps, tarps, and some tarps. don't forget the ammo. had a 9 foot long alligator sitting in my driveway (now riverbank) after Francis due to the high water.
bring it.
take care of yourself and your home and then sell it and move out of that godforsaken sweatbox.
