being prepared
Cynthia,
I know how you feel, as a single woman, many of the things we could do to better prepare are a bit out of our own reach. The thing that has me worried about anyone in the path of this new storm, is the shortage of supplies now. Generators, plywood, tarps, things like that.
Do the best you can, and when the time comes to leave,... leave.. I didn't last time, and I won't make that mistake again. The lingering stress over waiting and riding it out is tough. I spent 3 days in the house imagining the worst, then the best, round and round. It didn't change the outcome.
It's funny, the things you decide to pack and the things you find you don't really care about. I put away all my art supplies and works, old books and photos I love, enough cloths for a week and that was it. I forgot my insurance policy the first time during Charlie. The only change during Frances... I remembered the insurance papers.
PS.
I have a small Sony battery op LCD TV and it really saved the day, both times. It's no bigger than the old transistor radios back n the 60's. Get one if you can.
