Backup power in a town twice rebuilt by fire before any storm
Jensen Beach's original pineapple-boom-era buildings were largely destroyed by two separate fires, in 1908 and 1910, on top of the hurricane exposure common to the whole Treasure Coast; the pineapple industry itself never recovered and wound down by about 1920.
What that repeated-disruption history means for a generator installation
A town that lost most of its original building stock to fire twice, independent of any hurricane, is a reasonable argument for sizing backup power around real risk rather than a best-case assumption. Jensen Beach homeowners planning a generator should weigh that full disruption history, not just the most recent storm season.

What to include in a Jensen Beach inquiry
Mention the home's electrical service age, fuel type available, which circuits matter most during an outage, and target timing. Because provider schedules fill up before storm season, confirming availability early is worth doing.
Storm-record context for Jensen Beach
Jensen Beach's history includes two town-leveling fires in 1908 and 1910, on top of the hurricane exposure common to the whole Treasure Coast, a reminder that backup power planning here should account for more than routine storm seasons; current requirements should be confirmed for the exact property.
