Frankenstorm Sandy

We purchased a 5g water carrier for our camping trips over the summer.. just filled that with water. Think perhaps I will swing by grocery store tomorrow and pick up a few of those big bottles of water, and some candles and pet food, perhaps some tuna and canned fruit. We have firewood. Will make note to pick up some matches and/or lighters, and perhaps a big lantern in case we lose power.

Caught up on laundry, so bedding and clothes are fine. Now I am fretting about if I have to go to work in this weather [they are training us to handwrite out sales tickets in case our generator goes out.. uhm.. really?], and if I do, not being all showered. Also, do I need to go get my snow tires put on the truck and get the four 70 lb sand bags in the back to way it down? Never had to prepare for anything like this

ETA: I have been telling Bard we need to stock up our pantry cause, well, we live in Upstate NY. Shit happens. Yeah we are in the city, and that is good enough reason! Found a link that lists a 'hurricane grocery list'. Thought this could help out some people since I found it useful: http://www.sptimes.com/2007/06/06/Fo...e_grocer.shtml
