As the title says, I got my annual "WHAT YOU GONNA DO?" email at work. And, no one has created a thread in here for a bit.
While hurricanes up in the majority of posters areas are rare, time to check the gear and be ready. I've always kept my 'important' stuff on the second floor, so no need to do much work there. I need to buy a case of some tasty beverage and set it aside for the event if it happens.
Personally, I'm going to explore alternative evac routes and make sure they are open for travel. Road construction closing down a lane or two could gum up my plans if the time comes to leave. It sucks living basically on an island. Only major ways out of here are on bridges, the other ways out will go under water with enough rain.
I really need to burn off the diesel in my truck since it's pretty much been sitting for almost a year at this point. I fire it up every week and let it get to operating temps, but a diesel just doesn't burn gas at idle.
I probably need to fire up the generator, been 2 years since it was fired. Dumb.
Good supplies of staples already in the house. Good supply of bottled water. Just have to worry about the bread and milk shortage because people are dumb.
On a serious note, time for the summer thunderstorms and the associated misery to start up. Consider this my public awareness good deed for the day. Time to change gears from winter problems to summer problems.
