 Preparing for Hurricane Earl - what did we forget?
We live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and even if it doesn't look right now as if we could be in the direct path of Earl you never know. So we started to prepare us, the dogs and our home to ride the hurricane out. Since we are kinda newbies at that maybe those of you that are 'pros' could give us some tips?
What we did so far:
- shut all the storm windows and doors and secure them,
- lock all the backyard stuff into the shed,
- got the chain saw working again,
- bought food, water, propane gas, lamp oil and batteries,
- brought the gas camping stove down from the attic,
- put all papers and valuables into the safe,
- put medications and first aid stuff into a watertight box,
- got some cash,
- filled up the truck with gas,
- put some watertight clothes and clothes to change together with some blankets into a watertight box,
- put the dogs swimvests, food, medication, bowls and towels into another box...
What did we forget???? HELP PLEASE!!! |
