If this is 1st major hurricane here's a few tips that might come in handy:
1. Fill your bathtub(s) up with water, sometimes you won't have water right after a storm and with a full bathtub you can at least us it to clean yourself, pour in the toliet to flush it, etc.
2. If you don't have a generator, fill ziplock bags with water and freeze them, they will last alot longer than regular ice in a cooler.
3. Remember that you can boil water on a grill, so you can make things like mac and cheese and not just poptarts like some people do.
4. If you have the cash try and find a generator, a good place right now since all the normal places like Home Depot will likely be sold out is Autoparts stores.
5. Get Cash, if power is out for days or weeks after that means no atms, stores might open but no CCs.
