Hurricane

Days of warning, then days without power or water. Stock up smart and ride it out safely.

Hurricanes are unusual: you usually get days of warning. That’s a gift — it means the families who prep calmly, early, do far better than the ones fighting over the last case of water the night before landfall.

Think water, power, non-perishable food, and a way to get information when the cell towers get flaky. Then batten down and wait it out.
