    Maybe people will come to PFC for the Florida Man/Woman thread and learn something about guns. Probably not, but that would be cool.

    How little you know about my fellow Floridians. The scenarios all end in fire. First is that they actually need it for a generator, so they hot refuel in the living room because they don't want the generator stolen. If they don't use the generator, it will be stored in the garage or outdoor shed until the plastic melts and gas finds an ignition source.

    They must sell a lot of generators in FL.

    I'll admit that I have one but it's really old and somebody gave it to me. Never used it. I store it in a shed for the big 8.0 shaker that I know is coming. Then everyone can joke about people who still live on the west coast.
    In the P-F basket of deplorables.

    Watching Florida every time it's in the crosshairs for a storm feels like it's the first time every time. A run on generators, plywood, water, gas and gas cans every time.

    As for generators, I've got an old 5kw Generac generator that's probably due for replacement (likely with the PF Approved Predator 3500 inverter generator), but it's only been pressed into service once in 10 years . . . best $300 insurance policy I ever bought.

    That is no shit, but I think they return anything they don't use after the storm passes. Example: a Florida Man of my acquaintance was telling me he needed sand. I thought he meant for sandbags, and I told him Lowes/HD sell bags of it. He said to me, "Great. I need it to put by one door, and I can return the bags to the store after the storm."

    There's a special place in hell for those fuckers.

    Most likely. Or it ends up on eBay/Craigslist/OfferUp for a fraction of what they paid. Which reminds me . . . I need to check there in the next couple weeks to see if I can score a deal on a NIB Honda generator.
