Agreed. You should always have backup stock. We do during the rest of the year - but we also have a well. We have lost electric during thunderstorms and it can come in handy.

In looking at the latest sats and wv loops (remember to take this with a large grain of salt - I'm not a met - or even close!) looks like if something were to spin up out of the GOM it would be a few days away and probably head to Texas.
I can't get a good handle on TD16, can't see what would make it go so far north - unless Nate "pulls" it. I am thinking that if the GOM mess heads west then TD16 might turn into Florida sooner than currently shown. Just my thoughts on this - still trying to read how the systems interact.

Ya'll hang in there - it's wayyyyy to busy for me.
