Dear Pam,
If you have enough containers to fill up water for three days for each person and a handful of flashlights you will have enough to get by.
Last year I bought bags of dried fruit and nuts. That's what hubby eats anyway.
My sis in Texas included some games in her hurricane kit -- like cards or checkers or something.

It sounds like you moved inland a abit -- out of the first evacuation zone.
That's good. You can relax and not worry if you are supposed to be packing up or anything.

I remember when I lived across the street from a major airport. We always got electricity back right away. People who live near hospitals, jails, or senators benfit as well.

Maybe your new place has better insulation or is of new construction or something a long those lines so that you can get lower electricty than at your old place.

M.
