Hurricane Readiness
 

Being in an all electric home if power goes out I have battery powered lantern, flashlight, radio and extra batteries to go with them. But I was thinking of getting a small camping stove to cook canned food and heat water for coffee. I'm wondering what others here do?

We have a small camping stove that we used in South FL during hurricanes but the power hasn't gone off here during a storm yet during ten years here.

I use my gas grill to cook on during power outages. Probably not as efficient as a camp stove, but I always have a full tank as a backup and I already have the grill. So, nothing to buy. I just put the pan on the grates and cook away.

full gas in all cars and get out of Dodge, without a/c--you can't live here in the summer

Lack of air conditioning is my concern.

I just jump in my Phenom 300 and head to my other house in Beaver Creek, CO.





:D

The lack of air conditioning would be intolerable. I owned during Irma, but I was up north. Neighbors here said power never went off.

If you decide to get a generator, get a window a/c unit for a small bedroom--make sure you have enough gas for 7 days

I think Id rather go away for a few days then get a generator.

Yep

Been here 18 years and the power has never gone off in our neighborhood.

It's good to have some bottled water and meal replacement bars with you in the car.
Gather your important papers because you may need to leave in a hurry.
I suggest a small packet of important papers containing drivers license, registration, insurance for your car and for your house, cash money, cheques, credit cards, passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc, etc,
