I should probably get hamburg, but I don't want it to go bad.
Last big hurricane (BOB) in 1991 we lost power for 5 days and it was rough. We had fish tanks then and I kept taking the fish back and forth to work to keep the filter working for them.
Now, it's just two cats.
My husband is from Florida and knows what to do in hurricanes and has made sure that I know just incase we ever happen to get one in the Pacific Northwest.
Stock up on lots of tuna fish, canned ravioli, spam, canned spaghetti there is lots of stuff like that.AND lots of bottled water. If all else fails and you are unable to cook anything, these can be eaten directly out of a can, they may not taste the best but...ITS FOOD. We have a "stash" of this kind of stuff I hope everyone keeps safe. You can live without food for days, but you can only live without water for abouty 3 days. So make sure to have tons of water. You can buy 5 gallon jugs of water at most stores that go on water machines...buy several and keep them on hand. We have 1 full one at all times plus the one that is on the water machine. Thank the Good Lord, we live in Oregon where we don't get hurricanes and tornados. God Bless everyone. Keep safe.
