I recently met a young Vet Tech who moved to the area from Colorado. We were talking about all the rain that was falling. Neither one of us knew right then that the rain was actually the remnants of Hurricane Fay. She said it rained so little where she's from, and asked if this is what hurricanes are like. I told her yes, if the thing has had a chance to weaken. So I wondered, what would I tell someone if they had never been in this situation before, to help them prepare? There are many, many small things, like having a manual can opener on hand. My last hurricane was Fran, so actually, I wonder if I am ready myself. Suggestions?
