Well guys from someone that CAN NOT leave when it gets bad due to an oath to serve and protect, I truly hope we do not get a hurricane nor any part of a hurricane. Now that being said I do the following. When the news starts watching disturbances I fill up 6 5 gallon unleaded fuel containers. I have a portable generator that runs a few lights, the fridge and a small window shaker AC. I wish I had a bigger one, but...
I have 2 propane tanks, one is always full and if it gets close I top off the other one. I keep at least 3 cases of water int he garage at all times and rotate it throughout the year. I have a small backpacking stove that uses coleman fuel and a camping stove that runs on the coleman propane.
I keep canned food and frozen food on hand.
I have a pool that I can use to flush the toilets if the water is out. Also, the generator can run the pool pump on its own. So that way the pool stays clear.
I have hurricane shutters that go up early, I would love to have hurricane windows but I bought a precision rifle and training this year, priorities right.
Flashlights and lanterns and candles are all stocked up.
Additionally I live on a cul-de-sac that has alot of tradesmen business owners so we all take care of each other.
I also have a chainsaw that I had to use after the last hard hit we took, I forget the name of the storm. It is a Stihl and it is the scariest tool ever invented!
as far as guns and stuff I have plenty. I keep 30 loaded ar mags in a backpack that is HEAVy but there if I need to jam. The wife is also sworn to stay so we are stuck. The son has a 1022 and loves it.
Anyway I hope I am prepared. I sometimes wish I could leave, but you have to take the good with the bad.
