I live in a river community that flooded during Hurricane Flo. We had 6 feet in our driveway in 2018 where when we built the property we were told wasn’t in a flood zone. Hurricane Flo was the highest flood ever here in SE NC.
We decided after rebuilding that a generator here would be worthless in another flood unless they were raised up. And being on a corner lot we would have a tough time shielding it from the road according to our HOA. But also, when it flooded in this development those that weren’t flooded couldn’t use their gas generators anyway bc the gas company turned off all the gas in the development.
We have an outlet for a generator but we would only use a portable gas powered one if there were a massive power outage for another reason.
