I have plenty of batteries, we can bake our own bread as the thing is approaching, and milk would spoil anyway if the power's out. My water comes from ground water wells. What I probably need more than anything else is gas for the chainsaw. 
And don't forget to top off your car's 3/4 full gas tank, so it can sit in the yard all week underneath a downed tree. |

Fill the fridge and freezer w/ frozen bottles of water, use a cooler for drinks so you are not opening and closing the fridge! I go the old fashion way for lights, hurricane lamps. Gotta get a gallon or so of lamp oil. Gas grill or camping stove is a good idea if you have electric range. I'll load the iPad,iPod,iPhone (recharge w/ car charger) up w/ movies and pull out some books. Don't forget markers and crayons for da kids!!

Well its official now- Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel is coming to report from somewhere on the Cape.
So maybe one of us should stand next to him casting a bottle plug into the Maelstrom. That would be a good video.

Wind still isn't near its peak up on the North Shore, but it's been enough to keep the power flickering on and off ... has happened several times over the past hour

my checklist consists of:
1 store anything that can fly.
2 clean the coolers for the champagne.
3 stock up on junk food.
4 order a 6 pk. of viagra.
that should do it.

If cantore's coming...were all set...things tend to miss him. Although, living in east Falmouth, I gotta bad feeling, I hope it's only gas though. I'm a little nervous.

Living far from the coast i am doing nothing to prepare. Going to load up the plug bag and head to the water. Well the only thing i will do is top off the chainsaw with gas and oil. Blade is already sharp from the tornado.

So, I am not going to be doing much, just make sure I have water and batteries ...
... although doc ... you may find me at your doorstep if the power goes out ... 
But I went outside to purview the back yard ... my land lady has it filled with crip crap stuff ... glass top tables, glass candle things, tiki torches, shallow metal pans used to burn wood ... kayaks laying on the driveway ... and more ...
... I asked her what she was planning on doing in respect to the storm, she essentially said she was going to bring her cushions in so they don't get rained on ... i told her that that backyard was a veritable death trap in 100 mile per hour winds ... and she said she'd ask her friend to look at it ... as she is heading to California on Saturday out of Logan ... seriously, please ... |

Andy, you should go stay with family or friends for the storm, and then MOVE....... |

Yeah ... makes sense, although I still have the broken leg to deal with  ... so no moving until that is over ... but will start looking ... I got her to put the glass and stuff away, but she still left garbage cans, flower pots and two touring kayaks lying in the driveway ... I have to think that they are just mentally challenged or lazy ... but this is the same person who has not held a job since I first met her more nine or 10 years ago ... I guess that points to it ...
I would have no problems moving the stuff if I wasn't on crutches but hopefully it was cause some serious damage to her property and be a good .... "I TOLD YOU SO" scenario |

Kayaks boogie'n down the street at 70mph would be fun to see! Just don't want to be at the spot where they "land". Probably in somebody's read car window. I would like to see a pic of the boat hanging out the window though. Who needs Thules!

Preparing the basement for flooding, shop vac with pump on standby. I rather be on the east side of Irene with the wind then the west with the rain.

Cancel my fb account. Even if we get only 20 mph winds some people will find it necessary to post about it non stop and add useless camera phone videos and pictures.
