My original well pump was installed in 1978. It crapped out about 10 years ago And had to be replaced. Fortunately it was not winter! My well is over 400 feet deep.

Had mine replaced when I bought the property and built the house. 'Bout the same depth, I'm sure the old pump was good, still have it.

For small needs, kinda "short" term and "portable", I like the tri-fuel inverter types.
Champion Gasoline/LPG/NG...... or the like.

NG pipes usually stay running even after a hurricane, but not always.
For LP, park a decent sized tank and protect it.
Gasoline is what it is, but having some stored in a protected space is good.

Champion has tri in inverter and std types.

In terms of say a Generac or Kholer whole-house pad-mounted unit, how do they hold up to hurricanes? If they are not at least mounted high to avoid flooding then there's risk there.

Generac rates their unit's enclosure to winds of up to 150 mph. Flooding and falling trees are probably the biggest risks.

We don't have the flood issue, or really the wind where it is positioned. Ours is aerodynamic, mounted on a cast concrete block. If Locked, the garage, at least, would be gone first.
