[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 455468, member: 2211"] Aw, Janet, excellent advice! Up here in northwestern Ct I think we are going to get heavy rain and winds, but not the full force of Irene. Thank God. However, I have a laundry list of things to get prepared on Friday, such as all you suggested. I am NOT going to buy a ton of food! Also, people, once there is any signs of the impending storm, fill your bathtubs with water. We have well water so when we lose power, we can't flush! Well, now we can because H bought us a generator! Growing up on LI, NY, we survived a few Cat 3/4's in my time...it's everything Janet says, and, in some cases, depending on your preparedness, it can be worse. I wish I could close our pool on Saturday before the big storm. Not top priority, but it would help long term after all the tree branches and leaves get tossed around, ugh. Fill your tanks, buy some batteries, and, if possible, get some dry ice and keep it in your freezer just in case-it lasts longer than regular ice, but you can't touch it with bare hands!
