Hurricane Ike
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Preparations are always good, even if in retrospect, they appear as overkill. Better safe than sorry.
We tested the generator, got some gas for it, topped off the cars, checked for candles, (and glowsticks), made sure we had canned foods and clean water.
We were expecting up to hurricane force winds, and given the proximity of peoples trees to the powerlines in our particular neighborhood, we figured some type of power outage would be a given.
Staying up all night was to be a useless endeavor, as our area was to be more affected today, not last night.
The strong winds and rain never really materialized here, nor did we lose power, but we were ready, in the event that it did happen.
