Folks in the Carolinas, hopefully you have most of your necessities for the hurricane later this week.
Dry ice, water, canned food, propane / cooking items, flashlights, batteries, prescription meds, baby food / items, mosquito spray, gasoline, generator, ammo and gun (no joke)..., etc....
I was in south Florida for hurricane Andrew in 1992 and didn't have electricity for 4 weeks. Where I was, Andrew winds were at Cat 3 with very little rain. It was not fun for being inside during the hurricane and thinking roof was about the be torn off. Homestead and Florida City looked very bad and had lots of looting and scam roofers taking cash deposits to repair roofs or installing temporary plastic tarps. These types of events unfortunately have lots of bad people taking advantage of desperate folks.
I noticed 2 days before Andrew hit, lots of people did not prepare for having no electricity for weeks and supermarkets completely out of necessities.
Today disaster preparedness is much better from the state and local agencies, but ultimately don't expect help.
