Please go and prepare your home, car and family for an extended period without power.
If nothing happens you can drink the water and eat the food.

Watch your Local TV station, NWS Weather Radio, or AM/ FM Station with Emergency Alert Capability for Bulletins, Watches and Warnings.

The Weather Channel has a lot of really good information right now.

In addition to Winds they are expecting large amounts of rainfall in areas adjacent to the Coasts.

Remember... Hide from the wind. And run from the Water.

Craig Fugate the Director of FEMA is recommending preparations for power outages up to a few weeks.
If you don't lose power you are fortunate, and you may be able to help your neighbor that has no power.

Do these post need to go in the Disaster Forum for reference or should they stay here?
