    sd-7 just do what you can . . . tinned food for as many days as you can . . . and fresh water. If your water supply is not chlorinated, put half a teaspoon of household bleach per 2L container. Some form of med kit would be helpful . . . dressings, scissors and some form of antiseptic at least. It doesn't have to be a fancy big survival kit . . . just enough to keep you going for three to five days.

    I wish all in the path of this thing the very best.

    If you have insurance & other important papers, get them in a waterproof bag. Can be ziplocked.

    We are getting the outter bands of rain and some wind. The Bridge going to Carolina beach will be closed by 5:pm. Its the only way on and off the beach. I hope everyone near the coast is taking the warnings serious especially those up north where they may not be used to hurricanes.

    I heard the President's speech this morning, must be serious ,,, I hope people in the affected areas leave while they can, I hate it when our police and firefighters need to rescue people (leaving their own families alone) that were stubborn and didn't leave when they could.

    Ah, d...

    You might want to have some water stored, just in case the city water supply is fouled...

    Just sayin'...

    d . . . city water relies on pumping stations which run on electicity. If water supplies are maintained it will be a miracle. You need to store water . . . half a teaspoon of HH bleach per 2L will prevent contamination through storage. Tinned food for 3 days would be a good idea also. These are simple precautions that are easy to do. Please do it.
