Preparing for a hurricane?

[AKA Dave]

Good luck finding a generator now, the time to purchase it was last week, unless you want to drive a good ways inland.

Indeed. I'm covered there so I don't worry about it that much. I'm just looking at the worst case scenario. Power in my town can be spotty in storms.

The other thing that I've done is pack my chest freezer with gallon jugs of water. The only thing in there at the moment is rats, but I don't wan them defrosting either. The ice will keep them cool for a few days and it's potable water if the neighborhood goes to hell in a hand basket. I sound like some kind of loony prepper reading this back to myself....sigh.
