Are you ready for a few days without power? Do you have a way to stay warm? Now is the time to prepare rather than the day after the power goes off.
If you don't have a generator, there are plenty of them on the shelves for sale at the moment. Wait until the power goes out and you'll have to drive to Texas to find one.
If you already have a generator, when was the last time you ran it? Go take it outside, start it up, and let it run a little. If you didn't use ethanol free gas and fuel stabilizer the last time you used your generator, it may not start now. Make sure it has oil in it and you have a quart or two to spare. You don't want it to shut down because it ran low on oil and you not have any extra. If it's electric start, make sure the battery is charged. Lastly, that 2 gallon can of gas will likely not be enough. Go buy some fresh ethanol free gas and put stabilizer in it.
Lastly, if you don't have at least 8 gallons of milk and 8 loaves of bread, get to the store for your milk sandwich supplies. the shelves are already starting to look bare.
