I don't get hurricanes in my area, just tornadoes. Those dynamo powered radios are invaluable, especially if they have emergency services bands ( if local is still analog). Better yet get a shortwave/scanner with single sideband so you can listen to local HAM operator networks. They will provide real time information even local tv/radio news doesnt have.
I agree 100%. Better to be safe than sorry. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. As I said in the video you will eventually use the gas in your vehicle and the food you get you will eat, so it's not a deal. Thank goodness this won't be anything like Ivan or Katrina. Probably just a lot of rain and maybe some wind is my guess.

Hey Stacey, Be Prepared! I wanna see you cook chicken noodle soup on the grill (LOL!) $2.53 for gas! In Pa. we're paying $2.75. Stay Safe!

LOL, yeah cooking chicken noodle soup on the grill would be fun.
I'm watching the Eagles-Cowboys game and the local news just broke in and said we are now under a hurricane warning. It was a watch earlier.
