Thoughts and prayers for my fellow 'sleuthers who are in the path of the Frankenstorm. Please prepare appropriately and evacuate if it's suggested/required in your community. Don't forget about pets as they might be frightened and require special attention during the weather event.
During the storm, The Weather Channel has suspended regular programming and has been covering the storm 24/7. As long as you have power, TWC has the latest details on the evolving weather event.
Be well and stay safe.
Just a few suggestions aside from the water and canned goods essentials:
For those with smartphones, there are many apps that might come in handy. There is a flashlight app, local/national news and weather apps, tunein radio app, scanner apps for police scanners, network apps that allow you to watch TV (nbc, abcplayer, abcfamily, cbs, fox, disney, etc.), kindle (offers 1000's of free books) and skyfire browser that allows flash video to play.
These are just a few, I'm sure there are hundreds more.
You can use your automobile charger to charge your phones and handheld game systems (kids)...when we are without power I even put my sons nebulizer in the car and give him his breathing treatments there. :wink:
