[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 456069, member: 12241"] I'm in GA near the coast - we go through this more or less regularly. In addition to the advise you got above: everybody take showers + wash hair - now. clean the tubs afterwards and fill up with water [for flushing toilets, do dishes, sink/basin clean ups etc] fill up all buckets, plastic containers with lids [like storage containers], water bottles, etc w. water, put a drop or two of bleach into each. buy a small water filter jug system if you can still get one, in case you run out of drinkable/potable water you can filter the water you have stored. do you have a grill? buy an extra gas container or get yours refilled, by extra coal for a charcoal grill - this may be your only way of cooking for a few days. stock up on easy food - canned food, ramen, soups, etc. pack the things you do not want to loose into rubbermaid totes - important paperwork [make xeroxes as well as scan them and save as email attachments on a server like gmail, yahoo, etc], photos, videos, etc etc. unplug all electronics, if needs be take it all upstairs, keep charger cables handy for everything that needs recharging. bring outside pets in - please! get gas for the car[s] - fill up all handcarry tanks, and put up into a higher location, not on the floor. Good luck! We didn't get anything - a bit of wind not worth talking about this time. Hope you will be alright!!![/s] [/QUOTE]
