Since we're talking about supplies... just a reminder. Cordless phones do not work when the power is out. It's a good idea to keep some corded phones to plug in during outages. I found some nice ones with caller id at WalMart for $5. We're using them and my daughers old Hello Kitty phone now due to recent lightening storms frying our cordless. ugh
If you have kids, we found that portable CD players with headphones not only entertain, they block out storm noises. (Ivan and Katrina were both quite vocal. lol)
I have one drop cord dedicated to that section of the living room.
Also included were small window A/C unit, fridge and computer center - gotta’ talk with NautiNurse and the rest of the gang here on the Hurricane threads.
