[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 67102, member: 1514"] Well after living in hurricane alley for so many years I got used to them. I also had to work the shelters for the red cross for several years. We learned what to keep on hand to have ready for the emergencies. You should always keep your homes stocked in case you have to ride out a storm at home and cant leave. That means at least three days of non perishable food and water for you and your pets. 2 gallons a day per person. Keep extra medications on hand for times like this. Batteries and a battery operated tv or radio...or wind up like Sara said. Generator if you can afford one is great. Extra gas for the generator. Make sure you have a manual can opener. Fill bathtub with water before power goes out. Have a regular phone available in case the power goes out and you cant use a cordless phone. cell phones will not be able to be charged unless you have a car charger. If you have the ability to charge batteries in your car...laptops are great to communicate with the outside world. So are cellphones if they have internet capability. Just some stuff to think about.
