Florence Preparations

Tweet

We are towards the top and slight middle of NC. This morning I woke up and made a list of things we would need to be prepared. In Hindsight, I probably should have gotten these things yesterday, but then they may not have been available then either. We went to three different stores looking for water. I bought a big bottle of Fiji Water at the Food Kitty, and went to another walmrat (second of the day) and they had no water at all. There was a lady there kind enough to recommend going to home depot. Instead we went to The Pantry. No, this isn't a place in our house. It's the name of a convenience store, well it used to be. It's long since been changed to something else but will forever be "The Pantry" to the locals around here. We bought three more moderate size bottles of water. I had boiled some water this morning in preparation, and I came home and boiled more and filled up ice trays. We have plenty of flash lights, blankets, and oil for oil lamps if necessary. We are in the lighter orange area of NC for any of those wanting to look at maps. Even so, we need to be prepared for high winds and power outages. I'm cooking tomorrow (if the storm doesn't come in sooner), and we have plenty of food to snack on over the next two days. For those in the path of this storm, get prepared and stay safe. I know there are some mylottes from more Eastern parts of NC and SC.
