re: Your Hurricane Preparation - what worked, what could be improved and any tips

We always have water, and usually stock up an extra case or two of 16 oz bottle, but its not something we worry about like we probably should.

On generators -- we do one of two things right after power comes back that saves us some trouble later. Either (1) drain all of the gas out or (2) put sta-bil or some other product in. It is just easier for us to drain it and use it for the lawn mower or whatever. Before the hurricane we change the oil in all of them (we have 4 that are stored in my shed).

We also took some small rebar bent like a candy cane and used it to fasten my kids swing set and trampoline to the earth.
