In addition to food and water, you will need the following supplies: 23

flashlights At least $167 worth of batteries that turn out, when the power

goes off, to be the wrong size for the flashlights. Bleach. (No, I don't

know what the bleach is for. NOBODY knows what the bleach is for, but it's

traditional, so GET some!) A 55-gallon drum of underarm deodorant. A big

knife that you can strap to your leg. (This will be useless in a hurricane,

but it looks cool.) A large quantity of raw chicken, to placate the

alligators. (Ask anybody who went through Camille; after the hurricane,

there WILL be irate alligators.) $35,000 in cash or diamonds so that, after

the hurricane passes, you can buy a generator from a man with no

discernible

teeth.

Of course these are just basic precautions. As the hurricane draws near, it

is vitally important that you keep abreast of the situation by turning on

your television and watching TV reporters in rain slickers stand right next

to the ocean and tell you over and over how vitally important it is for

everybody to stay away from the ocean.

Good luck, and remember: It's great living in Paradise!

Looks like the needle got stuck in the groove on part II, or is that where the power went out?

This was great ... thanks studlover.

Reminiscient of Indiana and its tornado season, which is basically, anytime.

Living in Texas, near the Gulf Coat, I can appreciate this also:(

Yes, tornados are anytime from about May through October. The big difference with tornados is that we only have a few hours warning that conditions are right for them and we do not have any idea where they will hit.
