Oh hell! I forgot about all our nuclear power stations melting down! That'll be a hassle big-time!

2. Prepare flashlights, batteries and candles.
3. Bottled water and non-perishable foods.

My sons girlfriend is in college in Manhattan living on the 14th floor. I just saw pictures of her supplies on facebook. Being a teen it consists of lots of Halloween candy, a fully charged lap top, and her bed. Aren't kids wonderful :rofl:

Aye, that's the one, typing in the dark ain't so great :lol:

Anyway. A friend's neighbour just had their roof knocked in from a falling tree, but they still have power.

We've had a few power flutters, but it's still on.

I can't believe I actually bought a ****ing oil lamp today. They cancelled my college classes and my shift at work.

Other than my panic purchase of said lamp my other storm preperations have consisted of watching all my redbox rentals and carb loading on turkey hot dogs. I'm good to go for at least 2 days.
