Yeah, we know the reports of most storms are overblown. But New England can and does get some doozy storms from time to time - storms that knock out power, close roads, cause floods, rip off roofs, throw trees onto buildings, etc.
If a major hurricane or blizzard hits, are you ready? Do you know what you would drink if the water was not safe? What you would eat if the power went out? How would you cover over windows? Do you know where your flashlights and batteries are? Where you would go if you had to evacuate? Disaster Supply Kit Checklist
TS Hanna is a good reminder to get those emergency supplies together. Fall or winter, there may be more to come.
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I was actually crawling the feed titles looking for what level the FTA was at.
I'm making peach upside-down cake, and hoping the NWS notes about EIGHT INCHES OF RAIN are not gonna happen (one inch so far).
the wind blew and the ship flew

Water? check
Flashlight? check
Food? check
Nose plug? check
Generator? no check - so much for my emergency blogging plan
Really good idea Swrrly. Good idea to be prepared.

It look like a hurricane blew all the clues away. Never mind, you have to click on the puzzle to get the clue.
Wow

Was that really necessary?
Plus, anybody can post (whether it gets to the front page is another issue, but still).
