[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 455714"] Northern folks, I know this has mostly been covered, prepare like you would for a blizzard or ice storm that is expected to shut down everything for days. If you have to go somewhere or check on neighbors STAY OUT OF WATER, flash floods can be far deeper and faster than they look on the surface. Flip over picnic tables if you can't put them somewhere out the wind. That wind can pick up some pretty heavy things and throw it at you. Protect your windows, with plywood if you can, and if nothing else pull the mattress off your beds and put them against the windows on the inside or any large furniture you can to prevent major injuries from broken glass if the windows shatter. Make sure ahead of time that your gutters are free of debris and your trees free of dead branches. If you have trees that are weak or have shallow root systems that are near your house, stay out of the rooms it could fall on. Power lines may well come down, never assume they're dead even if the power is out. The advised amount of drinking water is one gallon per person per day. Dry ice might be a premium where you are, but if you're in the direct path it might pay to get some and keep it in a separate cooler in case you need it for your freezer. If you get dry ice, follow all cautions and never touch it with bare skin! [/QUOTE]
