Living in South Florida for many decades and being through many hurricanes I've come to won a a generator along with along with enough fuel for a few weeks. I also have a one room A/C that runs off of the generator.

My house has storm shutters over every opening. In addition to having four 5 gallon bottles of drinking water I fill 250 gallon water bladder for things like flushing toilets and washing stuff, like myself.

A few days before the storm hits I stock up on food, fill my cars up with gas, fill the water bladder and put up all the storm shutters.

I bought a house close enough to the beach to that I'm five minutes but far enough away and on high enough ground that my house won't flood in a storm surge.

After the storm hits I'm on generator power with plenty of food, watching TV via DirecTV, taking hot showers, working using either my normal internet connection or using cell phone tethering, cooking and pretty much going about live as normal.

The biggest issue is keeping all the idiots away that didn't prepare for the storm and now want to stay with me using up my supplies.
