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! :-)
Great Tips!! Sorry to hear you had no power for 3 weeks that is rough! I suffered through an ice storm and no power for 1 week - rough as hell!
Folks need to keep extra savings for emergencies. Love the French Press & cans of soup, a small generator is handy also & extra gas, candles, matches, oil lamps & flash lights.
Good Luck everyone!!
