About to evacuate

West coast Florida was told not to expect power back on until the 22nd

i would say a safe amount of time is like a couple of weeks. I mean some supermarkets were opined 2 days later. Granted I am in south FL mainland where thankfully damage was minimal compared to other areas.

Actually I'm in west coast Florida and lots of neighborhoods already have power (well mine doesn't but still)

yes. I mean I never lost it thankfully, but we were preparing for a cat 5.
