On the gulf coast it’s not uncommon for people to cook at lot of the food in the freezer and have a neighborhood party. You avoid having to throw away any expensive food in case of extended power outages and get to spend a little time with your neighbors blowing off some steam before the storm.

Heh. Maybe. But in the case of ThirdOfFive and his domestic associate, we're gonna die happy. We have enough water for drinking and cooking for two weeks at least, a two-burner camp stove with an adequate supply of gas bottles, a generator and cords long enough to reach the essentials in the house from the driveway where the generator will sit, ample food, electronic toys that will enable us to monitor and communicate with the outside world as needed, bathtub that will be full of water, and best of all three gallons of new pomegranate wine that tests out at over 16% alcohol.
Concerned. Not worried. |

Have lived in Florida, mostly SE coast, and have never had a situation with no running water. Unless there is an Andrew type hit, water should be OK.

Honestly, nothing. been through so many of these, it's just a nothing to us. especially when this isn't landing above a Cat 3. I remember our first one...we boarded up and took off... total waste of time and money. Typically make sure your car is filled up, after that if there are issues after the storm you have a few hundred miles of gas to 'fix' the issue. Which may be getting a hotel room for a night (power and/or water out). We've never had to, but that's just what we do.

Keep a cool head and watch the live news broadcasts. In 21 years, we have not had one to hit and do any appreciable damage. Who knows, this one may have our name on it, but presently it shows to come ashore north of Tampa and all we would get is some rain and moderate rain. That can change, but don't let the weather people scare you unnecessarily.

Walmart off 466 has or had mantles for the lanterns. Laying around your garage the ones you used previously are likely broken. I didn't notice any parts. Generators, globes etc. Reminder these things produce carbon monoxide. Should be used outside-on lanai |

Obviously, most people ensure their devices, like phones, ipads, laptops are charged up/topped off.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned: All you MMTC card holders, don't forget to charge your vape pens, etc. It sure helps me with my anxiety! LOL

These posts always remind me of the Twilight Zone where a guy is building an atomic fallout shelter and his neighbors are laughing. Then comes a warning of a pending attack and his neighbors all want to get into his shelter.
