Isn't preparedness a sign that you may be a terrorist?

I may be wrong but our government did mention this....on several occasions.

Good thread, Sour D!

Stay safe, everyone, and no fist fights at the grocery store while getting supplies! Someone in parenting just reminded me: fill your car tanks with gas in case the gas stations' power goes out - thought it was good advice to pass along.

And dont forget to have some cash in case the ATMs arent working.
Also, make sure the pets are safe!

All politics aside, I would like to wish everyone well too. Take care and check back in to let us know you're OK after the storm passes.

Hopefully we'll have power by Monday. I wouldn't count on it though.
