Also have propane grill and two tanks of propane waiting in garage and a freezer full of frozen fish and meat. Also have several gallons of water and bottles of gatoraid in house. Very nice neighbor has put any potential projectiles in my garage and removed sign from lamp post. Might have to fill buckets of water from nearby retention pond to flush toilet? Have shuttle booked with Villages Airport Van, which runs on propane, so will not be effected by gas shortage. Hope the flight doesen't get cancelled, expecting an adventure.
If you do use pond water for flushing, pour it into the bowl rather then the tank.

There will certainly be sediment in the water, and it is annoyingly difficult to clean out of the tank.
