you couldn't pay me enough to be there. a Cat 2 storm will F'up the area quickly. What you see on TV in the south or islands are locations that are built to handle the winds/storm surge.

Good thing I have insurance....lol
I think you should look at the evacuation plan for that area. I'd bet that there won't be anyone there hahaha... well you, the honey and the 'vic
I know the fast way back into dry land and if I have to haul a** I am gonna do that...lol
I know of about 200 people that will be there....
Looks like the Civic is staying at home and we are planning to take the Escrap.... I am happy
For those that may not have dealt with hurricanes, ignore this as a post whore post 
I'm making the assumption that the power will be out for a while...... which you have to do. A couple of years ago in South Florida, my uncle was without power for 3 weeks. it can happen!
+ Go to the store right now and find bottled water and/or fill jugs that you have and/or fill your bathtub. When the power goes out, your water will become very limited. I think I read that people should have a gallon/person/day. I went to WalMart tonight and the water aisle was bare. The grocery store across the street had limited quantities which I'm sure they are out by now
+ Go to the bank and take out some cash, the more you can withdraw, the better. When the power is out, your ATM/Credit card is useless.
+ When the power is out, don't open your fridge/freezer. Opening it will take hours off of the cold life of the items in it.
+ get your candles/lights/batteries ready now. Batteries are a valuable commodity when your current batteries are dead.
+ non-perishable, quick serve foods only
+ make sure all gas tanks are filled and fill extra 5-gal tanks if you have them. I filled my DD and (2) 5-gal tanks tonight. I'll fill my other car and make sure both are topped off before the storm hits
Hopefully no one will need any of this and it'll all be overkill, but if you have the need, it's nice to be stocked.

Batteries for the flashlights and vibrators? Because nothing else uses batteries anymore.

We're in the 100+ zone. What are you doing with your car? Josh said it doesn't flood over there but I'm worried about flying debris more than water at this point. A lot of **** is going to be flying and its going tobe flying at 100mph.

But I can't decide where to stick my car. Town center? or Portsmouth Naval Hospital's parking garage. I can get the car on base. ONly essential personnel will be there .
Drive up to my place and park it in my complex, it should be calmish here
