Goldilocks, I grew up in NJ not far from Lkwd (still have family there). I live in Oregon in the PNW. Tomorrow is a windstorm warning day with extended gusts of over 40mph predicted. The furniture on my patio and pool area is already stored away and the generator test started. fuel levels checked.
My father was a volunteer firefighter and emergency responder. His prepping kept us safe and comfortable in ’64 when Dora left us without power and water for a week, same with Alma, Doria. IRRC Doria left us without power for about 12 days. Foresight meant that during hurricanes and record snow falls we were fed and comfortable and in a position to help our neighbors who weren’t as well prepared. Hopefully the Lkwd community will have learned from this, it sounds as if this will be a record year for hurricanes. Good luck and stay safe.
