What have we learned from this storm. (Iselle)

[oink]

A lot of suggestions to go solar. I have no experience with solar but I would think it would be very susceptible to flying debris or the panels themselves going airborne. You don't get much flying stuff with a cat 1 but starting with upper range cat 2s stuff starts going airborne. How do you protect them in that scenario? Is it reasonable to take them down and store them? I have seen plenty solar water heaters blown off roofs. Even with solar I think I'd still want a generator as they're not likely to blow away. Start getting into cat 4s and I'm thinking the only concern is going to be having a good safe room. Everything else will be irrelevant. I know my house (CBS) will survive a cat 3 but not without damage. Of course all bets are off if an embedded tornado is encountered and they are common.
