DON'T PANIC

As Bobbym mentioned, I lost power from Wilma for 9 days.

Things are better today because a lot of gas stations and Publix have generators. Best thing I can tell you is -in addition to above - purchase non-perishables such as soups, tuna fish, pasta/jar sauce etc. and put in a box in your house or garage. After the season is over you can use everything in there.

EXCEPT for the jar sauce - Man do I dislike that!!!! LOL

One silly thing I learned is that if power is out, unravel your hose open the water and leave it out in the sun. Better than a real cold shower!

Oh, one more thing, weather people always, ALWAYS talk the extreme. I am sure they are trying to be safe but that is why I started with
DON'T PANIC!
