Thanks again for your hurricane survival tips and reminders... I’ve got a full tank of gas and the laundry is done! Will be sure to run dishwasher, etc. before the inevitable power outage, which “may last for awhile” according to our ‘RAT governor... :-(

Pick up paper plates and plastic forks and spoons. You’ll thank me...

Reminder in case you've not done it- scrub out a bathtub and fill it with water to use for various things if you lose power for extended period.

My late mother lived on the Cape and lost power for two weeks after Hurricane Bob twenty years ago- she and her pals walked together to the little restaurant every evening with their bottles and glasses- the restaurant provided ICE (by then it was like gold) and had their cocktail hour together!

Thinking of you and all our FReepers on the coast.

P.S. Hardboil some eggs too ;)

Good luck. I was in NE CT for Hurricane Bob in 1991. This is going to be a lot worse, I’m afraid.
