Longtime lurker, first time posting--am checking in from north central Alabama. My county has (last I heard)239 homes destroyed, and at least 6 dead (dunno about injury count). Power came on about an hour ago, largely because my neighborhood was spared major infrastructure damage--power and phone lines stayed up (I'm an old fogy, who kept the land line). I confess, I was thinking about all I'd learned on this forum about risk assessment and preps for sheltering in place--and as time went on, I started making lists of what preps to amend/gaps to remedy, etc. While I'm an experienced listmaker, my disaster prep listmaking has certainly been honed thanks to you all!
I was talking about lessons learned w/ my neighbors, and I hope that we can pool our collective knowledge/experience...after we all indulge in a little laundry and bathing. NB: when your morale is in the pits, semi-warm bathing helps immensely :-)
