all those 4's - tee hee - I'm EOM's sister don't you know - we've had a fight so I'm just hanging out here hoping to hear from him. That's a code so he know's I'm the right Liz. the zero in the middle is especially meaningful to him as it is just like the O in his name.....LOL

LOL! "Just as I suspected!"

I thought I just posted my list of other things to have but I guess your brother & his gang got it instead!

First Aid kit, basic toolkit (with duct tape; you never know when you need duct tape...can be used for quick hemming of skirt or pant leg), flashlight, weapon (if you have one and can use it without hurting yourself or anyone else innocent!), current city map for evacuation (may need alternate route if freeways, etc jam up), prescriptions (mine and the dog's) current & filled, coordination with family members in the city (they think I'm nuts) - can't remember what else I put down, maybe the other post will show up. Will pull out 'hurricane instructions' to see what else might be handy.

Liz,

Here's a link to a list put together by FEMA. It's pretty inclusive and is a good starting point....
