UH? did they also think of many moving the Dry stock to Higher Ground in the house? The top of any closet is higher than 3 feet. Unbelieveable prepping. Maybe they did not know the storm was coming, reckon? lol
No place in a house is a sure place. One can never foresee how or where a house will be damaged. Maybe it's best to split the prep stuff, store some in cellar and store some upstairs.
