Fill up containers with water and freeze them now. It will help keep freezer cold a bit longer...and you will have a bit more fresh water. Our best Ike investment was a camp stove. Made everything from heating soup to making coffee or tea possible. (French press coffee was a lifesaver as well.). If you can get a converter for your car battery, you can have emergency power on and off. Another lifesaver for long evenings. We had no power for 3 weeks post Ike. It was brutally hot. Still have flashbacks. Not good.
Stock up, hunker down and good luck! :-)
