Folks, something we did not do last year for Gustav which made us without power for a week in the hottest damned weather we ever had while I was just out of the hospital.
We didn’t have but a hundred bucks. Because of the power outage, the stores only took cash and the gas statiobns only took cash. No credit.
After six days while I was forbidden to travel after hideous surgery, we got in the car and drove to our home in Maryland to escape the hideous conditions and the lack of money for anything.
So get cash!! Alot of it. ANd never rely on hubby to shop for a hurricane when he is beyond himself with worry over his wife in the hspital.
It was without doubt the worst week of my life.
Get your cash now!!!
You are so right about all that. And, if you do have a generator you will need about 100 gallons for 10 days.When Ike hit last year I had 65 gallons that lasted 61/2 days. Lucky we didn’t have to travel but about 10 miles to refill the jugs, we were without power fo a total of ten days. This year I will keep a hundred gallons on hand, just in case.
Great advice. Cash is king when times are tough, and no electricity is the worst with high heat and humidity! How are you doing these days?
