You learn something everyday. This time around, I learned from my FIL that having a roll of roofing felt and a tub of roofing nails in your attic for a rainy day is worth gold right after a storm. He also strapped down his two AC units. Who knew those things would flip over and you lose all the freon, then you wont have AC when the power does come back on? huh

I have learned from experience but Katrina taught a lot. Although I live in central Mississippi and do not experience the hurricane damage those in south Louisiana do, we have ice storms. We have a small generator, plenty of gas cans 2 window units, extension cords, propane stove with fuel, small solar panel and 12v light bulbs. Over the years I have learned. We never lost power, but we were prepared. I can use the gas and we'll eat the food.

Charcoal and lighter fluid
Propane
Start your generator regularly but especially in advance.

As soon as the forecast suggests a hit to your area is possible treat it like a certainty. If you are wrong, well you just have extra gas and food.

With last year's hurricane fiasco, I was wrong 3 times and was finally right with Zeta. All the gas I had went into my truck three times...

I learned after Zeta to get a dual fuel generator. While everyone is fighting over gas, I'm easily filling up my propane tanks. Plus the generators run longer and cleaner on propane.

I have so much gas right now I can cut gas for a year. Laura changed my outlook on alot of things

Apparently people mixed that up and thought you’re supposed to load up on gas AFTER the storm. It’s ridiculous, almost a week later and lines are still wrapping around gas stations.

Move out of south Louisiana

Always fill up and never drive around unless you have to. Always have cash in the house.
2021 - Govt will give you gas. Joyriding is fun. Bitcoin > cash.

Three things my dad taught me before a storm..
Freeze a bunch of water bottles
Take pictures of all your documents and pics of your home and automobiles
Stock up on hard liquor. No one wants to be drinking hot beer all next week.

Leaned that lesson the hard way during Katrina. Never again.

And oil. A ton of subdivision divas are finding out the hard way that their whole home generators require frequent oil changes.
