[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Prepper Ping (UPDATE 5:03 PM, EST)
ATTENTION- Florida, Gulf Coast, Texas, South East U.S.

Yesterday, hurricane Irma was tracking 11 mph, and winds were 115mph.
The storm has intensified in Category and sped up to 13 mph Westward, and winds higher to 130 mph.
Exact track remains unknown at this time as the European (Atlantic coast) and the US (Gulf Coast) computer models disagree.
Possible initial land contact may be in the Florida Keys.
Some water, food, and gas shortages already being reported in Florida.

Thanks, TIK. Not promising for the good people in the Keys.

We just got this in the email. It is an article written by someone who has been thru the Harvey debacle. There is a list of what this person, a prepper, has learned.

Be sure to look at the commentary below the article. The discussion about how much gasoline to store is very important imho. The article suggests you should store 30 gallons. In the commentary someone states that the National Fire code states that you should only store 25. The implication seems to be that if your house burns down, the extra five gallons could give you problems collecting your home owner insurance.
