Preparing for a hurricane

Since I postponed my trip to CT to see my mom, I went out with my wife last night to get some supplies. We headed over to our super market which wasn't even that busy to pick up snack food and what not (basically things that will keep till next year). There was plenty of it left on the shelves which surprised me. Then we went to the drink aisle and there was basically no water left on the shelves. HA! The whole store is packed with food but all the water supplies and parmalat milk just vanished. No big deal, I have a filter on my tap at home and have lots of containers to fill with water.

Next stop was Sports Authority. Last year we were fortunate enough to not lose power. Right now the hurricane isn't even projected to come close to Tampa but you never know until the day before so we bought a camping stove with two burners on it. Now I think I'm all set. I'm not too worried about flooding of my apartment because I'm on the 3rd floor, I'm more worried about my car being washed away or something like that.
