Tropical storm preps [View all]
Austin NWS predicts 2-5 inches of rain for us. Currently under Flash Flood Watch.
We are filling up car and going to ATM for small bills in case electricity goes out.
We are preppers so we already have
Water for 72 hours 1 gallon per person per day plus 1/2 gallon per day for puppers
Camping stove with propane
Food that doesn’t require cooking - peanut butter; Vienna sausage; cereal
First aid kit
Prescription meds
Change of clothes including socks and shoes
If the electricity goes down we will fire up bbq pit and Blackstone and invite neighbors for a cookout.
We will put black contractor bags in both freezers and fill them with frozen food. Discovered this after Ike. Helps with thawed food removal 🤢.
We receive our meds through the mail so have plenty.
Will fill bath tub with water once storm (maybe Alberto) approaches coast.
Good practice for us.
Storm issues for us could include flash flooding and electricity loss. Hope we get some Goldilocks rain - just right.
Stay safe y’all. Remember “turn around - don’t drown.” 😉
