Want the Pie Life

This is from the forecast discussion of Major Hurricane Florence from this afternoon. As a meteorologist, when I saw this, my heart sank. They don’t use wording like this for every storm.

Florence is going to be a devastating. There will be huge amounts of flooding, both from inland rain and from costal storm surge. Winds are going to be some of the strongest you can get from a hurricane. People within the path of this storm could lose everything.

- toiletries (paper towels, toilet paper, baby wipes for “bathing” in case power & water go out)

- water, 1 gallon per person for at least 7 days (err on the side of caution if possible); more if you have animals!!

- non perishable food items, if you get canned food make sure you have a can OPENER

- pet food & supplies, if you’re really worried about flooding it may be beneficial to get life vests for your pets, also find a way to put identification information on them!

- batteries

- flashlights

- battery packs for cell phones charged up in case of loss of power

- filled cars with gas & filled gas can(s)

- get all essentials like passports, important docs, and cherished items together & ready to go

- just in case, determine a way to get onto your roof safely

- fill bathtubs with water so if water isn’t available you can refill the toilets to keep flushing and keep waste to a minimum

- if you have dogs look up how to make a makeshift potty, you can use a hard baby pool and some sod potentially

- check your prescriptions and get them refilled now if necessary

- if you’re taking insulin and lose power, fill a separate cooler for your insulin than the one you would use for food. Insulin > food

If your place begins to flood get the hell OUT of the water!!! There is no telling if you have a live electrical charge in there!

Do not cross any water you cannot see the bottom of the ground in. I’m serious.
