Before the hurricane, I put together a few boxes of stuff to drop off at a few family members homes. The boxes had basic storm supplies, like flashlights, battery operated radios, water bottles, cord, ducttape, plastic sheeting, ect. I wanted to make sure that they were equipped, regardless of what they actually had at their house.

Anyway, after the storm, my brother says, "it was nice of you to put all of that stuff together for us, but it was kind of a shame we didn't need to use any of it."

I thought to myself, if that's the worst problem you have after a hurricane, is that you didn't get to use any of your hurricane gear, than that's a pretty good problem to have. grin
