It's not just important to ride out the storm, it's also important what creture comforts and resources are available after the storm has passed.
All the people who rode out the storm with us were not able to go home right afterwards because they had no electricity, phones or food in the fridge. We sustained 10, then 8, then 6 people for 6 days till their area normalized. It was very important for elderly people who need electricity for oxygen and air conditioning for comfort, we had temps in the 90's and 100% humidity.
Larry's parents had electricity first after four days with us, then Larry had to repair his roof damage and flood water in his house. He stayed several days until it was cleaned up and the roof repaired. Aunt Ellie and cousin John had electricity restored in Delray Beach on Tuesday afternoon. My parents had theirs restored this morning and they went on home.
During the storm we felt very safe and secure and detached from the noise outside. Once in a while we opened the front door to see the severity of the storm.
To relieve anxiety and boredom waiting for the storm, we watched movies in the theatre.
All of this would not have been possible without the Cutler-Hammer 12 kw whole house generator. It provided electicity for the theatre, a/c, lights and appliances. We also used gas for the cooktop to serve 3 meals per day and many snacks and baked goods.
We rode out the storm with all of the comforts of home.
We are very tired from the stress of getting ready for the storm and the aftermath of waiting for utilities to come back on. We will be gearing up for the open house in October, on the 9th & 10. Please come visit us then and see how comfortable our Safe Harbor Dome is.
