Great stuff, when I lived in Fl, we had a plan and various material. We had ice cream every meal and lots of steaks cooked on the grill when the power was out for a while. Let's hope that better made houses, and evacuations will reduce the damage this time around.

By the way, the hurricane better not keep people from visiting this board. If you've got internet, you had better be right here.

I am in Southwest Georgia if anyone needs a place. And after watching the game Saturday, I have plenty of liquor.

Weird. After watching the game, I had no liquor left.

The most important thing to do when prepping for a hurricane is to not do it right now. It should have been done months, if not years ago. I enjoy sitting at home while the supplies fly off the shelves and people panic. The time to prepare is not right now, now is too late..

Do you put the frozen cup inside the freezer?

Click to expand...

No...the frozen cup is for drinking beer....which the OP forgot all about. Buy at least 2 cases of beer for everyday that you expect to be sitting there doing nothing....which means I only have to purchase 1 more per day than usual...
