Wishlist of preparations I should have done prior to Hurricane arriving
Writing this list now while in the thick of it, maybe some new ideas will come up. Feel free to chime in.
- Fill up gas tank in car
- Freeze gallon jugs of water to keep food longer
- Charge an extra power bank for phone juice
- pre-download some shows/music/audiobooks
- Keep a stash of tealite candles (real or electronic)
- a set of those forehead band lights- Have a cooler handy for ice/food storage
- cash stash for the "cash only" places
- consider a gas powered generator to power my fiber internet modem and some air fans
- find some no-powered-needed hobby, like drawing, building puzzles, etc.
- have a styrofoam cooler on hand to store food with ice.
- buy dried fruits and nuts for snacks
- maybe get into pickling foods for more snacks
- backup all of my computer work
All in all, the biggest inconvenience for me is the lack of wifi and knowing that the food in my fridge is slowly spoiling. If I had wifi, the heat wouldn't be so bad, the priority is to get a little backup power for internet and keep at least some of the food cold with ice in a cooler.
*edit* adding suggestions:
- water water water – a few extra jugs on hand
- a better cooler than styrofoam type
- do laundry
- dry ice for cooler before the hurricane arrives
