More recently we had a propane tanker catch fire on a train, and they evacuated nearly the entire town.
Trust me, we have gear ready in the event we need it.

A hurricane can put power out for 15 days. You just deal with it until it passes. I had to come to FL during the last 15 day power outage to survey damage and it wasn't fun but it wasn't the end of the world. Lived out of a hotel and still managed to find food, gas and everything else needed. Was just an inconvenience.
