My local Wally was packed with shoppers. I'm not sure tere was much concern about Irma. Saw several carts with a single case of water, hope they are just topping off. I loaded 10 cases (32×17oz bottles in each). Heard a few folks say "We better get more water" as I passed them.
Lowes has stocked those soft plastic water containers you lay/fill in the tub. I've used Heavy Duty leaf bags (doubled) set three side by side. Fill equally and tie off. Seal your charcoal in bags too. Consider bagging your cloths and anything else you want protected.
I've got 3/4 plywood covers for all windows/ doors I'll put up thur/fri. Need to bring ax, hatchet, hammer and heavy wire cutters into the house. Need to gas and test run generator then put it up on the work bench I'll bag/seal it also. Back to work.

The PANIC has set in. As bad as the .22 ammo shortage. Pace Walmart - No Water, No Flashlights, No batteries. Had a mile long water line this morning wrapping thru the store.
Pace Lowes, no water, out this morning. Low amount of charcoal. Gas lines everywhere.
Pace Walmart Ammo case Full. I guess no one wants to defend their property from looters?

Between panics they let them lay around with dead batteries. When the next panic comes they are corroded to the point of being useless.
We always have 4-5 weeks of food on hand so I just went and got fresh gas for the generator and called it good. We live 40 miles north of the coast so the rivers flooding and tornadoes are our larger worry.
Glad we just had a new roof put on two weeks ago. :boink:

Someone please clue me in to this "go buy bottled water" thing.
Possibility of storm + clean empty container + faucet with water available now ='s - - -> hold container under running water . . fill container . . set aside for storm . . . am I missing something ?? --- SAWMAN

Yep. New metal roof on house and shop 3 weeks ago here.
I buy iced tea in gallon jugs and when I'm done will usually rinse them out and put away. Though I have cases of bottled water, I figured these jugs might come in handy one day too and I'll be filling them should the storm head our way.

What did you ever do with the plastic 275 gallon totes??

Few things to add. Buckets and barrels of water are good to tie to things such as aluminum patios to maybe help keep them from taking flight. Also every generator owner should have at least one oil change worth of oil on hand for extended outage. I have been meaning to buy some quick clot gauze for a while and just ordered some from Amazon. If something happens in the middle of a storm you may bleed out before help arrives.
Lord I hope you are wrong sir.
I am in deep prayer for the storm to take the middle of the atlantic path..
