Pop-Tarts! Get Your Pop-Tarts!
Did you know that Pop-Tarts typically sell out before a Storm? They are considered one of the most popular items for the pantry during a storm. Go ahead and stock up on the processed, sugary breakfast item before it's too late ;-)
You see folks, we have our first named storm of the 2012 Hurricane Season, and the season isn't even official yet! Am I worried about Alberto? No, it is forecasted to stay off the coast and will remain a Tropical storm, but it is still a darn good reminder that the time has come to Prepare!
Hurricane Season officially begins on June 1st and ends on November 30th, with peak season for us on the east coast running from late August - early September. That does not mean that we can't see a storm anytime. Alberto is proof of that.
So, go ahead and prepare. Get your evacuation plans together. Make sure you have your emergency supplies readily available and up to date. Stock your pantry with bottled water and non-perishable food items (including Pop-Tarts). This way, if & when a storm does hit.... You can avoid the rush at the local grocery stores, because you will be one of the few folks that are prepared ahead of time.
Don't forget about the pets! There are many Hotels that allow pets, make sure you have a copy of their current medical records, and go ahead and drag out those kennels from the garage.
