Save your Life

In 1900 a Category four Hurricane hit Galveston, Texas and killed up to 12000 people. They had no warning.Hurricane Irene is expected to cause much damage and flooding. People die who drive their cars into water too much. People are asking what to take. I tell them a logical mind. Basic survival is water for 7 days. Blankets, pillows,extra batteries for weather radio,cell phone and flash light. Food items like peanut butter and crackers, canned goods with water and a manual can opener. Meats like beef jerky and medicines and personal id papers. Pet care things like a leash and muzzle. Fuel and items for cooking. Personal items like glasses and contacts with solution. Plastic forks and spoons. Do not panic. Life over property and safety first.
