emergency preparedness

Within the past day, I have purchased:

2 pairs of wellington boots, one for each of us
1 new cat carrier, just in case
4 gallons of bottled water, plus I've been filling up empty bottles from our Brita jug
huge bag of dry cat food

We have located among our belongings:
lots of candles
a battery operated radio with lots of replacement batteries.

I am running to the grocery store in a few moments and I'll pop by again on my way back from my workspace later today.

I figure the more prepared we are, the better the chances are this will all be nothing . . .

If it's possible to buy off a hurricane, I think it's a good use of funds!

Yeah, it's my "if I carry my umbrella I won't need it" logic . . . hope it works this time!
