A few reminders as Hurricane Irene approaches....
As Hurricane Irene charges up the East Coast, we have had days to prepare. By now, we should be ready, just in case we lose power or hav eissues with downede trees, downed power lines, etc.
Now that your batteries, water, candles, spare food, etc are purchased, make sure you know where everything is.
In the dark, you don't want to be fumbling around, looking for the flashlight. Or having the candles, but not the match.
Charge your laptops, cell phones, and all battery devices now. Ipods and other MP3 players that have a radio should be charged to the fullest, as well as a battery operated radio, if you still own one.
Check your porch or patio. Bring in all light objects like patio tables, etc. Make sure the kids toys are secured.
Tidy up, if need be. Those shoes on the floor of your room that you get to on the weekend can be a tripping hazard in the dark.
Experts are suggesting filling the bathtub and leaving the water in case the water gets shut off.
Take cash from the ATM today and pay any online bills asap. Again this is a pre-caution in case power is lost.
Hopefully, the storm will pass with average rain and minimal wind. However, if not, you will be glad you spent time today getting ready.
