Realize the South is different than winter storms but the first thing that happens in Florida when a storm or hurricane is coming is the stores get all the bottled water bought out. I've lived in Florida all my life and the city water has NEVER been out. OK, maybe if you have a well and lose power you need the bottled water but not in the city. So buy up some 5 gallon camping water storage containers to keep water in if you think you need it. Panic buying is stupid.
We always make sure the LP gas tank is full for the grill and stock up on simple canned stuff to eat. Don't have a generator and don't think we need one. Longest I've ever been w/o power was 4 days.
People need to think more about weather related outages.
