The Supplies

 ~33 gallons of drinking water. Check

~50 gallons of flushing/cleaning water. Check.

~Cleaning supplies. Check. (Probably should have gotten more trash bags.  The church building should have...you know, if the roof doesn't blow away.)

~Power bank fully charged. Check. (Should get 2-3 charges to my phone.)

~4 Ryobi batteries fully charged. Check. (This can run a fan.  Remember...For probably 24 hours or so, I will be full enclosed in a house without air conditioning.  It will be hot. But I have ~70 hrs of fan time. So that's good.)

~USB fan fully charged. Check.

~Solar light and solar fan/light combo (today's score!!!) charged. Not check. I guess I wait until the sun returns.

~Radio.  I found one today! Put batteries in and it started playing country music.  Check.

~Candles, matches, lighters, oil lamp. Check

~ 2 random lights that can be charged and are fully charged. Check

~Pantry full of food. Check.  (I also have a gas stove, so that's good.)

~Laundry done. Check. 

~Full tank of gas and extra 5 gal gas. Check.

~Anything within 5 feet of a window packed up.  Almost. (The people that live here have a young child, and I think homeschool. There's plenty of books, crafts, games, toys in front of the windows. Whew.)

~Popcorn popped.  Happening next. :)

~Furniture moved away from doors and windows.  Will do when I get closer to time.

I can't remember if I already said, but I will not be alone in the storm.  There's "kid" that live so on the property that will join me when it gets crazy. There's also a neighbor who has indicated she may come over. There's three couches we can push far from windows, and be fine.  Also, the house is built with a hall way with no outside doors or windows if this became a worst case scenario.  I am in a safe place. :) I'm more worried about the clean-up.
