Yes, this is a Q Win. But we are family and now a lot of Florida pedes are facing a potentially dangerous storm. Some are new Floridians and have no idea of how evacuations work here or may need other help from us experienced Floridians.
So I thought we could do a check-in post here and we can move to another Win to support each other, if needed. I lost my old home at Weather Underground when they got bought by Weather Channel so it would be nice to have a bunch of y’all to chat with.
Right now, TropicalTidbits.com is the best online site outside of the National Hurricane Center. Levi has been hurricane forecasting for many years and is excellent. You can see the Euro and GFS models there also.
So if you are a Floridian and are facing the roller coaster of the next five days, go ahead and say hi!
It's usually building/fire code for places like hotels and office buildings to have generators for emergency power. Whoever initially has a building made may opt to have a large generator for regular power, along with enough fuel storage to run it for a day or so. That's how my building is.
Commercial buildings don't use generators for their main power...
Either building or fire code here in NYC requires a UPS (uninterruptible power system) in commercial buildings. With that, there's no lapse in power while the generator kicks on. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've never heard of a building using a generator as its main power source, not being on the grid.
