We all know the basics of not having power...


What are some things you wish you had during a hurricane, just for comfort.

Me,
deck of cards, Wish I did all my laundry

Any other tips?

 

I wish I had gas appliances
I wish I had a battery operated clock which did more than just remember the time (it doesn't operate the radio, etc)
I wish I had some place to safely store my vehicle (or even a car cover)
I wish I had a bigger light emitting device than a flashlight-type device for reading, etc.
I wish I had enough clothes to go a few weeks without re-using clothing.
I wish I had emptied my freezer & refrigerator sooner instead of waiting for the power to come back on
I wish I had bought more dry goods which didn't need preparation
I wish my employer had showers (presumably with warm water)

 

i wish i had my mommie

 

A generator. I may buy one in the next day, along with a small window A/C unit. Refrig and A/C were the two biggest. I would even just do a nice fan. Anything. Anyone want to sell one?

hmm...i'd have to say some company, lol going through a hurricane with just a cat isn't much fun...

hmm...some yummy food, and soda's..

 

As for the bright light...


I had a lawn tractor battery I bought form walmart. I got it for testing some car electronics I have... cost me $8. Well during the hurricane I hooked up a car foglamp with the cover off and it lit my entire apartment up(well the main room) This thing lasted a good 3 or so hours before it went bad. Beuaty was I just jumped it to my car with cables, and recharged it.

This time around I was thinking of going by the junkyard and picking up a cooling fan form a car for a few bucks. Then I can hook that up as well and have at least a fan

I am definitley getting more dried food this time around, I only expected to be out of power a few hours if at all, not like 5 days, with freeloading friends staying over

 

I couldn't ask for anything more during the last hurricane...

A few extra hot girls would've been nice though, it began to resemble a sausage fest here for our hurricane party...a bunch of the girls that said they would be here drinking during the storm wussed out last minute when they heard about the 120 mph winds....can you believe that?

All and all, we had a blast during the storm....the day after sucked *** though.

 

Funny thing I spent most of the time around girls after the storm, only problem, my girlfreind was around and they mainly bitched about no AC.

 

stripper

 

Stripper in my bomb shelter.

 

a girlfriend.



electricity would be nice too...

overall though, im fine... i mean, theres always somthign to do.

i really wished i had a camera this last time..... im thinking about buying one if the french hurricane comes any closer.... a good camera... not a lil cheapie one.

 

More batteries for my GameBoy Advance

 

ha yeah that would be nice...My sort of SO is prolly going to get out of town if it decides to turn north...me, not sure what i'm going to do, they might evacuate the coast on thursday...i'm debating on whether or not to hit up tampa or not...

 

Hot'n'sweaty with college women? Where do I sign up?

Anything special you're doing with your cars - that is if you don't normally have access to car shelter?

The 'sort of SO' is bailing on you? What's up with that?!
