Living here on the gulf coast of Mississippi, I have been through numerous hurricanes (katrina and Camille were two of them). Make sure you gas up your vehicles. Get batteries, non-parishable foods, charcoal grill or propane grill, emergency radio. Get ice and fill all containers you can with water. First aid kit. Charge your cell phone. Be ready to have power outage for up to one week (sometimes shorter or longer). Follow hurricane check list and use common sense.
Sage advice. We are on coast of Delawareso the next 24-36 hours should be interesting as we are in its direct path; unusual for us more common for you me thinks. All the best for anyone that is or will affected.EKD
