Some things they don't tell you to prepare for in a hurricane

• Grind your coffee beans before the power goes out
• Find something to do while you are waiting for the storm
• get something to keep everyone occupied after the power is out
• Everyone eats the boiled eggs first, boil more
• The more stuff in your fridge/freezer the longer it stays cold
• The more stuff in your fridge/freezer the more you may have to cook, eat or pitch
• Cat food and cat litter, you don't have enough, trust me
• Wash all the towels first, and everything else. Really you don't know how long until you can wash again
• LED flashlight bulbs last longer. weirder light, but longer.
• Sleep while you can, you may not get too for a while
• Get to know your neighbors before the power is out
• Trim branches before the storm is close
• Grind the coffee before the power is out. Starbucks didn't open soon enough.
