I’m here in South Carolina. I believe in staying ready for weather events in advance so I do not have to scramble at the last minute. I stay prepared. It’s easy to do a little here and there throughout the year than it is all at once. Just be ready bc hurricane season has barely begun. Prayers for everyone affected by this storm.

Saw this hope it helps: Charcoal, lighter fluid, and an outdoor grill: water may be shut off (facet water) so make sure you fill as many containers as you can, with water for bathing. If you have a pool, the water will be dirty with debris from the hurricane, but you can still use that water the flush your toilet, just make sure you take the debris out. Also, have duct tape, you’ll need it to tape your windows if you don’t have ply wood or shutters. Tape large X’s (at least) across the windows so if they break it can help keep the glass somewhat together rather than flying around your house from the hurricane winds. Stay safe!

Make sure that you have small bills💵 , buy lots of drinking water and store everyday use water as well. The Costco generators are great, will power the entire house. Has a great return policy.

Greetings. Maybe a power bank to recharge phone/electronics. Create a checklist and printout for hurricane season. Sending prayers.

You are on the case. You ae a super woman!!! Good Job!

I think buying a generator is a great idea! One of my cousins lives in Florida, she has a whole house generator and uses it every year. As far as I'm concerned you will never regret being prepared. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

Be safe Kitty and your daughter! I’ve survived 3 at home, one was pretty bad and terrified me! Get your supplies and make sure to have cash cause cards don’t work without power 😊 just in case. Put your personal documents together in one ziplock bag and easy to grab just in case.

I hope the storm is minor, but if not make sure you have plenty of non-perishable foods that you can eat without much preparation. You need snacks, fresh water, instant coffee, a way to heat food, batteries, candles, flash lights, first aid kit…etc. I like to prep general camping supplies bc that is what it’s like to not have power for an extended amt of time.

You did the damn thing. My prayers are with you and your family. You will be fine.❤❤❤

Always go with your gut. It will never fail you. I’m a person that prepares for everything that I’m moved to. Keep calm and prep on!😊 I want to see those nails done before the tv cameras come!😂😂😂

Survived the last one to hit Merida in 2021? My daughter and I were at the Buyan on the 5th floor. The neighbors window blew out and fell into the pool. We grabbed the cat and went down to the lower level. It was thrilling but scary as hell. Can some friends come over and you just have a camp out so you are all together in case you need each other? Maybe just one or two close friends. Just in case communication goes out.

Great prep info. I left Mèrida for a little while, but when I get back in August, I'll do hurricane prep as well. And yes Dallas shuts down for bad weather lol.

I had no clue and I’m on my way

Do you have duct tape to seal the patio door for extension cord and the gas fumes and noisewhile the generator is running on your patio ? You will need the correct extension cord that matches the appliance you want to plug in to it. Look at the generator adapters. You can put patio chairs in pool as well.

I’m going to Cancun

Nothing unusual is going to happen. Hurricanes hit the coast of Quintana Roo every year, over three hundred kilometers away. There might be heavier than normal winds and rain for a day, thats it. All business will happen as usual.
