I live in a rust-belt state, and spent some time earlier today getting supplies in. No big deal. Just in case I can’t get out for awhile.

Here’s one thing I learned from experience. Maybe 15 years ago we had a big storm here, and the power went out for a few days. No worries. I had candles and flashlights.

What I didn’t consider is that the power also went out to the local pumping station. So my water went out, too. That was unpleasant.

Now when I major storm is coming, I fill my bathtub up with water. And I always have glass bottles filled with water. Cheap insurance.

Agree on the water. I’ve got my water and firewood up to spec.
