I’m slowly working through our checklists for getting the house prepared for the storm. I just got back from the store picking up some preemptive supplies, and I filled up a spare 5-gallon gas can that we have. I think we’re about as ready as we can be with the current forecast information.
For those new to the hurricane-life, folks may not realize how post-apocalyptic things get in an area recently ravaged by a storm. After hurricanes France and Jeanne in 2004, during which our house suffered VERY minimal damage, we were more traumatized by how things were in the week after the storms hit.
