If anything storms like this should be a good exercise of having a storm kit ready to go be it tropical or winter....IE, Generator running, Fuel, Battery, Portable radio, Food, documents. Living down here gives a new meaning to preparedness; when you have the potential monster like Dorian 70 miles to your East there isn’t a lot of time to prepare.
i think most in New England are lax on our Tropical potential seeing we have been lulled by the last 30 years but at some point that will end.
