I thought these threads from last year might spark some new ideas since the season seems to be ramping up:

What? A thread like this existed last year? People were actually bored back then?

Not really bored. There are some very good and appropriate ideas in these threads.

From dixiebreeze's last year's thread:

important thing you learned after surviving a hurricane/tropical storm so far this year:

For example, I learned you can't have too much water or ice or canned tuna Also, that I HAVE to find a way to make coffee in a power outage!

My interpretation:

He with the biggest generator wins! (at least in the first 3 days)

In the long run, the one with the most batteries for the fan has the most friends! :cheesy:

Batteries and generators certainly make life a bit more pleasant during a tropical disaster! And I did get a coffee maker that I can plug into my car.

I personally have a couple of "ever light" flashlights, a crank radio with light, a small generator, lots of canned foods, and bottled water, just in case of both intense hurricanes or nor'easters.

Those infomercial things? Do they actually work? I mean, the concept seems sound enough, but you never know with that as-seen-on-TV junk.

Interesting to note, as of August 1 2005:

We were through with Gert (Jul 23-25) and awaiting Harvey (Aug 2-8)

BUT, as of August 1, 2004:

We were experiencing Alex (Jul 31- Aug 6) and awaiting Bonnie (Aug 3-13)

Interesting stats for those thinking 06 is a BUST! :wink:

Except I believe Alex was born on the 31st. :wink:

2004 was interesting. Nothing for two months, not even a depression, then everything just went nuts.

SORRY! You're Correct. I printed out NHC.NOAA season maps for 05 & 06 and the print is very tiny! Paul
