The first real possibility of a storm, Chris, is brewing. Early advisories show it becoming a hurricane by this weekend, moving between Cuba and Florida.


We all know how those early reports are, very hard for good predictions.  Just keep an eye and ear on this one.

This is where I start to put ice in big freezer bags. You can always use it later.

Seriously, even a remote threat of a hurricane used to put me into high-efficiency preparedness mode. (Camille, 1969.) This time, though, I'm finding myself almost paralyzed -- fortunately I've been gradually buying canned goods since spring, and am probably good for two weeks, but this feeling of not knowing what to do next is a surprize. Is it left-over PTSD?

I'll pass along the most important thing I learned at Hattiesburg's preparedness summit a few months back: the people from the Coast will be here sooner and in greater numbers than ever before if any storm threatens. We in Hattiesburg will not be able to go to WalMart the day before as we have in the past.

I'll probably pick up a couple of cans of gasoline tomorrow. Best case scenario is that I'll dump it into one of my vehicles next week

Invictus, we all want the best case to hsppen. Looks like it is just the first awareness kind ot thing at this point. If you have had an opportunity to be on the Gulf Coast, you know that you keep an eye on every storm. We used to blame them on their names because all were female names. Male named storms can now be as distructful as Katrina.


The original intent of this post was to caution us all to be aware. Early. If it comes. We had early notice. If it does not come. Someone, somewhere, may need help.
