What to plan for in Cape Coral
- Hurricanes (very high): Hurricanes can mean a week without power. A standby generator on natural gas or propane, or a battery with solar, beats a stack of gas cans; check flood height before you site equipment.
- Lightning (very high): Lightning causes short outages and damages electronics. Surge protection and a battery that switches over automatically protect the things you care about.
- Coastal flooding (very high): Coastal flooding means keeping batteries, generators and electrical panels above flood level; ask a licensed electrician about elevating equipment.
