If you are well inland then the most likely difficulty (other than a tree falling on your house) is losing power for days.<BR/><BR/>I hope you're doing well (don't see a more recent post from you), but for the future I'd recommend the important stuff (besides food, water, and first aid) to have is a couple of flashlights, a battery powered radio, lots of batteries, many candles, and matches or lighters.<BR/><BR/>Start saving some plastic milk jugs/gatorade jugs/wine bottles. Rinse them out and stick them in a closet or cabinet. Next time you have a storm approaching fill them up with tapwater, so you don't HAVE to go out and find bottled water.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
