You didn't mention cash. If power is out, you can't use credit cards.Man, the stores here in Eastern CT are mobbed. I stocked up on a few things, but we already have most of what we need.
Already stocked up on water, food, basic medical supplies, clothing, batteries, pet food, SOME fire wood, and just bought 10 gallons of gas today.
To do:
- Charge all laptops, cell phones, tablet, etc.
- Do all loads of laundry / dishes
- Plug the bath tub and fill it with water (bucket + manually filling tank on toilet = flushable toilet during power outage FTW)
- ???
Anything north of Conroe is Yankee land, everyone knows this. How's the clam chowder? And they couldn't get to the US because we beat them with all those guns that were made in New England.
You're really making your fellow Texans look bad. I know a bunch of people from Houston and they're nowhere near your ignorance level.

Huh, it hasn't even started raining. GF and I just got back from Seaport CROWDED with tourists.
he's in NC..where there is actually a Hurricane.
you guys are going to get a tropical storm.
still the rain and possible storm surge could nail you--though since it seems to be coming inland, expect nothing too serious.
despite what the media and everyone up north seems to think, this probably won't be a huge deal for people above the M-DL.
Well, at least Irene's dropped to a Cat. 1. Shouldn't be much drama with that weak level.
Hate it, though. A hurricane would pick now to hit the eastern seaboard. Wife's father had a heart attack a day ago, got put into ICU this morning, so she's driving up to Cape Cod as I write this....she should be around SC/NC border right now, trying to outrun the storm. I'd almost would have wished she'd gotten more rest before leaving, but to beat the storm up the coast, and she's driving I-95 up, had to leave last evening.
Sucks all around.

This is the biggest media hype I've ever seen.
This storm is gonna be the weakest crap that evacuated more people in the history of mankind.
I just took in a feral cat, poor thing was soaking wet sitting outside my door , I just left the door cracked and he came in and laid on the floor and went to sleep. Later it got up , walked to the door looked outside then laid back down. I told him he can go when he wants, he looked at me like " WTF ? Are you nuts ?". Windy and rainy is about all it is so far, but I know how fast that can change.
