We are preparing for our first hurricane. Hanna it looks like is going to just glance us... but this is my first encounter with a hurricane... not really looking forward to it... soooo I will go fishing today with only 40 mph winds predicted there isn't really any preparations to make.

Please gas up all vehicles.

Move cars and boats away from trees. If possible, put them in a shopping center parking lot away from trees and building signs.

Have canned food.

Have a manual can opener. This is vital during a storm.

Get and store as much ice as you can.

Get bottled water.

Make sure propane tanks are full for grill.

Do not open freezer doors unless it is absolutely necessary other than to put extra ice on the items.

Eat all ice cream today and tomorrow.

If you have any ice chests, put refregerator items in them when you lose power. If you do not lose power, be thankful.

Have chainsaw, hammer, etc.where you can get it.

If there is a possibility of trees falling in driveway, move vehicles to a safe place, as said above.

Have all Rx prescriptions up to date and on hand plus your first aid kit.

Have a battery operated radio and if possible, a TV.  We have a B&W which was a mistake. We need to get a color set.

Have cell phones charged.

And that is for starters!

I guess being from Louisiana and living through a number of hurricanes you get used to putting your supplies together.
