Yes, Howlin had detailed instructions for me and I am grateful I followed ALL of them I possibly could.
Fill up your gas tanks, get a generator and a 5 gallon can of gasoline.
Also, find a radio that receives more than NPR...lol.
Bed Bath and Beyond has a great windup radio for $39.00. They also have 20% off coupons. They'll take them 2 years old and they'll also take Linens'n'things coupons. Depending on your state tax the wind-up will cost about $35.
Did you get a generator?
