LOL...just kidding! I am impressed with that list...and even living in north Texas..with possible tornadoes from Rita...I am NOT taking this lightly.
You left spam off the list.
I would add a gallon of chlorine bleach.
OH my......... coffee! I'm ok on the other stuff but didn't think about coffee........... oh wait, I do have those tea bag looking individual coffee thingies......... I mean if I was having to boil water on the gas grill, it would be better than nothing!
FYI you fill your bathtub so you can use the water to flush toilets and other general purposes uses. I had a teacher once who move here right before Carla. She filled the tub, then emtied right it after the storm passed. No one had told her what it was for. She found out the hard way.
