I need to look at them later today and make sure I know how, plus have all the screws, wing nuts, etc.
My theory is...if it's a 1 or a 2 I'm willing to batten down the hatches, bring in the patio furniture, put up the shutters and ride it out. If it turns into a 3, shutters are up, everything is inside and we're out of here.

ever since Ike i make sure to keep a case of bottled water in the house at all times. it's amazing how quickly you get perspective on what you really need. 2 weeks with no power? FINE. 1 day with no water? FML!
i am praying for everyone in each potential path!
