That's a cool list. I would have never thought of that as a Thursday 13...but, what a neat idea. Congrats on being so early, too.
I am blessed we don't really get hurricanes in the area of Texas I'm in. We did have a tornado yesterday. During hurricane season I will keep you in my thoughts.
We'll be praying for an uneventful hurricane season. Good list! My TT is up early also!
I live in NYC so I don't really have to worry about the bad storms. But that was truly interesting.
My T13 is up too!
Wow, sounds a bit exciting, although I'm sure it's a pain in the butt at the time! Happy Thursday =)
Very informative and helpful lists.
My TT is up too.
I hate hurricane season! I know I'm not in an area that has to deal with them, but I lived on and near the Texas coast up until 2 years ago.
Good to see you're prepared.
Happy Thursday & thanks for stopping by my 13! :)
I can't even imagine what it must be like to do this every year. We don't get too many hurricanes in the UK
Have a great TT day

Oh my........did you HAVE to remind me of the season coming up already? Boy last year was horrendouse, we had evacuation then it was called off at the last minute (AFTER we evacuated!)...
Great list.
Thanks for dropping by my T 13 and the wonderful anniversary wishes!!
Great idea to remind us. We lost a 300 yard long dock to the hurricanes 2 years ago. Be blessed today. My TT is up.
Usually when we get a hurricane here, it's lost its strength. But I hope for those of you that live in harm's way, that it's a mild season.
Having lived in Florida for 6 years I was always doing this in May. After a while I said to Hubby, "let's move back home where life isn't so dangerous". We're retired and so it was an easy option for us.
New Hampshire is not so dramatic.
My 13 is up!
Great things to keep on hand all the time- no matter what. We don't have hurricanes-- but we do have 72 hour kits packed and ready for whenever we might need them.
Wow - what a good list to have handy. We don't have too much severe weather in AZ - just a couple of monsoon storms during the summer.
GREAT list! I pretty much have ALL that apply except the cash. LOL
Good idea, but kind of scary! Reminds me that I am not even sure where my flashlights are!
What a great idea! We are right on the east coast and so far have been pretty lucky, better safe than sorry. Praying we will have an uneventful season!
I should probably have a survival kit similar to this since I live right in tornado alley, but alas, I don't.
Happy Thursday!
Ah, that was a very GOOD to have list!!! Wow... I seldom think about hurricanes and stuff, because we don't have any over here. We're lucky that way, but on the other hand, we've to deal with this cold weather we mostly have... Never satiesfying hah?
It must be difficult to take the dogs out on long walk during that season.
Hope it will be a mild season :-)
Wow..great list..very prepared!
Holy cow. You are a much braver person than myself. I love Florida but I don't think I could live there for that very reason. Let's pray for a mild season this year!
Happy TT!

Quite a list!
I have a friend who has a diabetic in the family so also stores nuts & seeds - slow release carbs - against the insulin not lasting out.
I cant imagine having to be prepared like this 'just in case' every year.
I hope you stay safe - I guess we take it for granted, but you guys have to remain prepared.
my T13 is up if you get a chance to stop in.
I'm guessing people will be a lot more careful this year with supplies. Thanks for posting a helpful TT.
My TT is up.
You're quite organzied.
Hope you and yours are super safe during the season.
Sending good vibes from NYC.
Oh and my list is up.
Take care,
Frances
My folks live in Florida and they prepared for it too. Then they decided to work for FEMA because if they were going to have to leave, they might as well help others in the misery too.
My TT is up too.
I hope this Hurricane season is mild!
Great list you have up. We don't get hurricans here in NC, maybe a few tornados here and there, but it's best to have those things handy for anything though.
I remember doing something kind of like this for Y2K...In a way, it's kind of nice to know you have what you need if something should go amiss...hope you don't need it...:-)
