I agree that the tghhout of a big branch landing on your car can definitely be enough to send you home In Jan this year I was staying with friends out in the forest in California and had to drive out to work early a.m. through a storm. Didn't get very far, power lines were down across the road about half a mile from where I was staying and the only other way was the long way round . I didn't fancy it as it was total madness out there. Turned back and was glad that I did, as there were a lot of branches and trees down across the road the next day.

i was like wtf is this why pull this up in 2012??

RE; water. Be sure to dcinsfeit your bathtubs and then duct tape the trap closed before filling with water. (The pressure from the storm can force the water down the drain)A quick rinse off a couple times a day after the storm feels great esp. if it is hot & humid & you are working on cleaning up. Also, fill every container you have with extra water-pots, pans, plastic bottles. Make LOTS of ice in advance to keep freezer,refrigerator and ice chests cold. The extra water comes in handy for a quick rinse off, and wiping down surfaces as well as cooking. We also fill up trash cans and keep them in the bathrooms to flush the toilets, if the city water is disrupted.If you can afford it, get generator NOW (Home Depot, Lowes). Get at least a 5,550 watt or more if you can spare the funds. Also, get plenty of gas cans & get them filled when you fill up your cares. You'll also need some small motor oil to mix with the gas and extentions cores made for generators (If it doesn't come with any). A must for anyone using a generator, buy a carbon dioxide detector and make sure it has good batteries in it. This should go right inside the door closest to the generator which is only for use OUTDOORS. Another important "gadget" is a gas chain saw which you will not be able to locate after the storm.Most important, be safe. Don't take any unnecessary chances. Possession can be replaced but lives can't.
