Hurricane and mold preparations

[Guest guest]

We in Houston are getting ready for Hurricane Rita. Latest projections are

that it will come into the Galveston/Houston area and they are predicting it

could be possibly a Category 4 Hurricane.

I'm about 70 miles north of Galveston but still within the radius of

flooding, rain and heavy winds and a Cat 4 or 5 Hurricane will cause major

damage. With my MCS we are not planning to evacuate.

Question to you all experts given my sensitivities, what supplies would you

stock up for cleaning in case of some flooding and no utilities? We are in

a two story home, brick, all downstairs floors are ceramic and tile.

I plan to move our non-perishable hurricane food upstairs, our flashlights

and other hurricane supplies upstairs. Computers, electronics and important

papers will be also moved upstairs. Have axe in case escape route in roof

is necessary, two-story ladder, short-wave radio.

Was out all day today trying to find supplies and shelves are empty. I have

a reverse osmosis watermaker and plan to start filling glass bottles

tonight.

Thanks for any suggestions.
