Storm is headed our way Saturday and early next week and maybe a direct hit with a tropical storm.

Edit:  It's Darby not Celia.  So many and hard to track em. :D

Thanks for the heads up.

I hadn't been checking lately, with all the other stuff going on.

Will start filling water containers tomorrow afternoon if the path is more certain and Oahu issues a watch.   Other than buying a few tap lights tomorrow , not planning to buy any other supplies. 
Did get some extra 12 ga. 00BK earlier this week but just for the normal supply, not the storm. ;)

I don't expect much to happen with a direct hit.  Probably electricity goes out, some flooding for some, can't go shooting on Sunday, etc.

Wouldn't disagree Z!  Just hope there's .22lr sv ammo available unlike bottled water at Costco!

We've done this drill several times before.

One thing I do that most people don't think about is to have a supply of water that can be used for flushing your toilet.
I fill up the blue C&C recycle bin with water for flushing.

I'm ready

I did that last time out because of your suggestion! Even though I didn't have to use the water I thought it was an excellent idea.

Thanks OF.  :worship: :worship: :worship:

I do the same thing lol, roll it under the bathroom window, I have a small 12v pond pump that i use to pump it in the window

Then again i also do the same thing when some one parks across my driveway, roll it infront of the car and fill it with water, funny as watching some one trying to move a 500lb container,

Looks like it may be a direct hit on Oahu, winds probably won't be too bad but plenty rain.

Hope everyone neighbor islands and Oahu stay safe and hope no island gets a direct hit.
Good thing this is an election year where the mayor might act fast if your area has a problem if he wants to keep his job.

Yup.

Don't get flooded people. Happened many times before. Move your stuff if you can.
