Back during Charlie, I lived on the east side of Orlando. Our power was out for three days. My neighbors were all sitting in line at near by gas stations that had power for hours. My wife asked me what I was going to do about gas for the generator? I told her I'm going to get on the east-west expressway and go west until I see the lights on, and then stop and get gas. Charlie was a small compact storm and didn't affect a wide area. I thought I might have to go to Clermont, but turns out just the west side of town. I pulled in to a Mobil station with one or two cars at the pumps and filled up. Back home in 45 minutes. A little planning goes a long way, and saves time.
This is such great advice. I can't count the times I have seen similar things happen. A little forethought and planning can save a bunch of time and hassle. Around here, I track the gas stations that I know have their own back up power.
All the best,
