Recently bought a Midland WR-120EZ radio from Amazon and  a Eton Zone Guard  radio from a local Radio Shack.  Both are NOAA weather radios.
Plan to get another 3 pack of butane fuel late summer to cook indoors if need be.  Can't do that with my propane and white gas Coleman stoves.
Also like to get those quick dry flood barriers, but don't know if sold locally.
 Consider with the summer heat, to stay cool (while sleeping) in event of a power loss, putting up a small dome tent in the living room and operating a small battery operated desk fan (at the tents opening).  Due to the round interior shape the air from the fan blew all around making a nice cooling breeze in the tent.  Better than just using the fan to try cool a room and the air only blowing one direction.  I did this one hot summer early afternoon and was good for me to sleep in.

Funny, I've been using my PROPANE 4 burner stove / oven in my kitchen for 8 years.

Here is a good page to keep track of storms.

Hey, why not use this highly expensive satellite technology for your own use?! They didn't have this sh*t 50 years ago for folks to look at.

Online discussions about propane indoors seem to run 50-50.   People say they used it for years indoors and no issues.  Maybe bottom line is you have good ventilation for indoors.   Others say that for safety the tank need to be outside.  Guess it's up to the user to decide since there's no definite right answer.
But for me I use the single burner butane stoves with the canister indoors.   Heats up water, and food pretty quick.  When there's a hurricane warning issued, I stage the stove/cannisters, along with portable radios on the dining room table and LED lanterns in each room
 I have 2 burner propane stoves and a lantern but use it outdoors for camping.

I'm talking about my store bought (Sears) LPG (liquid propane gas)v Bosch Kitchen range and yes, "Others say that for safety the tank need to be outside." which is where my 250 Gal tank is.
I do know of someone who does use the 5 gallon Bar-b-que propane tank for his kitchen stove.
He is smart enough to keep the tank outside piped into his house but dumb enough top have it directly on the outside wall of his range on his coveredd deck.
Too close IMHO

Seems a little early in the season but news said another "disturbance might form in our hood.  IMHO the recent high temps also have been early here, normally get that in Sept/Oct.   Don't know if that's something significant or just flukes.
Trying to get off my okole and look into a good solar battery charger for AAA, AA and D.   Gotta stop buying reloading components and accessories and go to Battery Bill's for Goal Zero stuff.
Anyways everyone stay alert and plan to get your extra supplies early to avoid Costco/Ciity Mill crowds.

It's a good reminder that I gotta empty, flush and refill the water storage. It's been over a year now.

Was gonna pick up a water BOB, but decided to bleach the hell out of the trash cans again and just let the Gods of rain fill up my containers for free.

Water heater is a good source for drinking water.  Holds 30-50 gallons which will sustain a family of 4  for a week or so.

Not recommended as the anode is magnesium.

Water storage is No.1.   A good thing to have is those 48 qt. or bigger coolers with wheels to get to the water wagon IF it gets to your street.   Another thing which is a real last minute buy is to fill up big coolers with 20 lb bags of ice or block ice if available.  When it melts, you have water.
I have water bobs but thing is you have to be pretty sure that electrical/water will go out since it's mostly one time use.   Can just fill the bathtub instead.  West Marine  sold HD 5 gal. potable water cans (think made by Scepter) for about $24 each.   These smaller containers are more portable around the house and last longer than the thin kind sold at Walmart.
If a big one is coming  the refuse containers to catch rain water (after the winds) is a good idea for gray water.
To minimize water use, I plan to use paper plates or stuff that don't need washing.  Also bought the stainless steel surgical bowl that this lady sells at the gun show to wash face and give yourself a quickie bath when the stink gets to you.

Hardware Hawaii Kailua had 6-1/2 gal WATER jugs (tan in color) similar to gas cans for $17.00
Funny thing is that's the first time I've seen the jugs actually marked WATER !

duck season!

I tried Hurricane Season, but I think the Grill Master Steak Rub Season is better.
