Please take your Hurricane precautions

[beach bum]

Hey fellow FC'ers...if you are in the Southeastern U.S., please keep your eye on Hurricane Isaac. It appears the track is still a little uncertain (as to be expected), and you never can be sure about the intensity given it will be over the very warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Just a reminder about precautions:
- at least 1 gallon of water per person/per day
- batteries for flashlights (candles can be dangerous)
- non perishable foods
- fill the bathtub with water before the storm hits - this water can be used for bathing, flushing toilets, etc.

Also VERY IMPORTANT! If you have a portable, make sure it's charged up. If you don't have a portable, make sure you have your "old school" tools available.

Be safe, folks. Mother Nature will run her course, and we just gotta go with the flow.

We are ready. We have a generator, battery lamps, batteries, water, canned foods, etc. We have everything we need, just in case. We are already under a hurricane warning, and are seeing the outer bands this morning.

A generator? Awesome! Can we come over and plug in our vapes? We are running around here making sure we have lighters. Now's the time we really wish we had a portable....

We mainly have the generator so our food doesn't go bad. We can't run our A/C on the generator, but we can have a little light, keep the fridge and freezers cold, run small electrical appliances sparingly. Gas is expensive, so we have to be careful what we use.
