Other things to consider:

Take out a good amount of cash, credit cards don’t work in a power outage.

Make sure you have a manual can opener.

If you have a gas grill, pick up a couple of extra propane bottles for it.

Cut the grass before the storm gets there.

In May 2006, I drove from Miami to New Orleans along the Gulf coast. Visited a straw bale home near Pensacola. Two foo-thick trees had blown down near the house, and in the neighborhood, a number of homes still had blue tarps on their roofs a year after the big storms. There was absolutely no damage to the straw bale house. FU big bad wolf.

Another one we learned after Camille. Wash your clothes ahead of the storm so you have clean ones & don’t waste water on it.

Neither do ATM's.
