What are y’all doing for the hurricane?

[Show Sebright]

Hi, just wanted to make a thread for everyone to talk about their plans for the storm. I know some have questions and a lot of us have answers. I’ll post the updated tracks of the storm as they form out.

Here is this mornings track and what it looks like on the radar.

Where are you located?

Are you in a home, apartment, or mobile home?

Fill your tank with gas, and any extra gas cans, in case you have to evacuate.
Get extra water. 1 gallon per person, per day for several days.
Get canned foods, and a non-electric can opener, and snack pack foods.
Get batteries, flashlights, candles, etc. OR the solar path lights work well too for lighting inside.
Have a bar-b-q grill, or camp stove. If you're going to cook with wood in the event of a power outage, put some smaller, and medium stuff on a tarp, then enclose it, so it doesn't get wet. Make sure it can't blow away.
Pick up, and secure all yard items that can blow around.
Secure your chicken coop, and other animals.
Track the storm as long as you can on tv, or radio.
Keep your phone/tablet charged.
IF you can, and it's going to be a Cat 4-5, build, or buy cages for your chickens, and put them in your garage, or inside a building during the hurricane. Make sure they have food, water, and ventilation. I put a big tarp down on the garage floor first, to make the clean up easier afterward.

If you plan to go to a shelter, take medications, a flashlight and and some extra batteries, bath soap, toilet paper, toothbrush, toothpaste, a few changes of clothes, hand sanitizer, water, a few snack packs, and plastic eating utensils. Charged phone/tablet. If you're taking kids too, take a few things that will keep them entertained.
