Hurricane Almost a Cat 4 now

[dareutwo]

Your preparedness reminds me of blizzards up here.
Could be days before power is restored.
But if we need water for bathing or whaterver, we can just melt snow. We keep a case of bottled water for drinking.
Though our problem is heat.. so we have to rewire the furnace to run on the generator. (don't want to back feed the utility line)
Oh, and we do have 2 kerosene heaters and plenty of kerosene just in case. We plan for 5 days without power.

Isn't this storm a bit early for the season?
