I too normally have a well stocked pantry with can goods, cases of water and other non perishables. With several propane tanks, a gas grill and a freezer full of stuff to BBQ, a pool full of water to flush the comode, I think I'm GTG for several weeks in a hunker down situation. I still have to get that generator though.

Back when Katrina and 4 other big named hurricanes hit, Lakeland was the Bullseye for 4 that crossed the state. One of them predicted to hit Tampa/St. Pete, made a left and hit Cape Coral, going inland...where? Lakeland. Same with Orlando, hit by 3 of the 5. Regardless of where you live, a well built concrete block house with a metal roof would serve you well. Last time I was in Key West, almost every house had one.
