Earl...

...so apparently we have a storm coming our way this weekend. (http://www.thevanguard.ca/News/2010-08-31/article-1712418/Hurricane-Earl-on-the-way/1) Hurricane Earl is headed our way and it might be a doozy! Tie down your things and unplug whatever you don't need, just in case.

Here's some ideas of what you should have on hand during the storm:

*Cell Phone and a land line that's not cordless. (Cordless phones don't work if the power goes out cause they plug in)
*Food - quick and easy things.
*Coleman Stove. I have a butane burner thingy...works the best of kind! Last power outage I cooked Kraft Dinner for the whole family!
*Flashlights and lots of batteries
*Radio...either one of those crank ones or a battery powered one.
*Battery Powered Fans...it gets hot sometimes during the storm.
*water....fill the tub so you can flush the toilet as well as have drinking water available.
*Lots of Friends that live in different places cause once the power is restored in one area, you can all pile in over there till yours comes back on!! hehehe...this is the most important one, in my books!!

I hope it veers off course...still have a few days of wishful thinking :)
