Re: What did you learn from Ike? Share your Ike experience.

Just a few things and I'm sorry if this is redundant.

* Have a specific tub/container with all hurricane supplies (I had everything I needed for the most part, but it was all scattered in different places...maybe buy a larger cooler and
store everything inside for next time)
* Buy more jerry cans (I now have 6) I never once had to wait in line for gas as we had 3 vehicles filled.
* Generators do make things easier when the power is out for multiple days (I was w/o power for 12 days. I borrowed one, plus 2 window A/C units. My new generator is supposed
to ship next week along with the transfer switch)
* Need to buy a wind-up lantern (My original Bay-Gen radio and flashlight were invaluable)
* Need to buy an Old Smokey type of BBQ pit.
* Need to get a case of MRE's (We had plenty of non-perishables, but MRE's might be easier if we were on the road. My parents had to survive on them in Galveston for
a week or so)
* Need to get ICE beforehand.
* Need to freeze some bottled water to double as cold packs.

Thanks to all the other posters for their suggestions.
