The only thing I would add is get a small Honda gen...it will run your freezer and fridge and you probably have a Grand worth of food in both.
Strong 3 and above we're out.
Storm surge is our big issue: I have had waves breaking in my back yard, just below the leveling out grade. Yikes.
My best to all. Too early to really tell where.

I started to type about a Generator and it was a negative so I deleted it.
If you do not have a generator plan squared away by now, it is too late.
That is something that should be sorted every June at the start of the season.
I have a whole house standby and I still go over it every June, change the oil, note it it is time for spark plugs air filter etc...
I fire it and load it up make sure it is functioning OK.
When I had a gas one, I changed the oil fired it up and made sure it was running good, if not I addressed the issues. Right now, it is too late for that plus I have heard gas is already running out 2 days out from the storm. I have a friend up in the OBX area he said it is bedlam there.
Another tip, think outside the box, need charcoal, Home Depot will be run over, does your pool store sell BGE's like mine does? I have a Pinch a Penny near me and he sells Big Green Eggs. Charcoal was out all over town for Irma last year, I walked in there and there had to be 50+ bags just sitting there.
Bottled Water? Bud Light is almost the same.
OK I kid..
