Fair question.

1. Freezing as much ice as I can. Frezing water bottles and the like. Emptying ice into containers in the fridge.

2. I have the storm pannels ready to go...have freed the bolts for the storm panels from the paint that was over them.

3. I will buy 4 loafs of bread tomorrow morning. PBJ keeps well.

4. Doing as much laundry as I can.

5. Getting my boys ready for another long weekend.

6. Eating as much perishable food as I can between now and the weekend.

7. I already have plenty of batteries and canned food, ponchos, tarps and duct tape.

8. Reviewing preparedness plans with decision makers at work tomorrow morning.

9. Getting mentally prepared for the possible change in lifestyle 2 weeks without power (or longer) brings

10. Praying for a miss.

LOL!

Oh yes...well...I am fully planning for all possible outcomes...which of course implies stocking up on all necessary consumables.

Translation: I will buy large qtys of beer tomorrow just in case.

Mike,

Didn't want you to forget such an important part of your Hurricane Kit.

I don't know if this will help anyone, but there is a cooler size portable refrigerator that runs on LP
Maybe it would help keep food cold for a couple of days more without electricity...
