What did you neglect in your preps?

Agreed.. bought a starter solenoid for my Kabota tractor from Amazon. It said Genuine Kabota Parts. First one would not work at all. Exchanged it and the replacement lasted bout two months.
Ordered one from the Kabota dealer. After getting the one directly from Kabota dealer and comparing them there were definitely some difference on the outside.
Later on I took the original apart and the one I got from Amazon. Big difference so it had to be a knockoff.

WOW

They F'in TOLD YOU it was gonna hit Friday.....Fill up everything Thursday...duhhh

But how many times have they cried wolf. I didn't go out and buy fuel. I was going on life's history. Could've been much different. I'd figured out a way. But it might have been worse than it needed to be

I had 20 gal of fuel. I could run my fridge and small freezer an a light bulb or two off my little Honda EU2000 for days if needed. Natural gas cooktop and flat grill would keep me eating so I was good there. Water is a different animal..should have more non potable stored and fresh too. I keep a decent amount of cash on hand. If it was winter I’d just keep the fireplace burning. I’m sure I’m lax in other areas but I could make do.

The 'experts' were calling for 8" to 10" of rain from Helene. We got 8.5". Most times it was a soft rain and was absorbed quite well. Only had standing water for less than a day.

Ooops..

Ooops..

Sorry I had to do it. You definitely have to be careful with Amazon and OEM parts. Best thing to do is read through the reviews and see if anyone mentions knockoffs. I’ve been burnt on some Honda parts from them that said OEM but were cheap knockoffs

Remember fellas, water in plastic has a 2 year shelf life. Plastic starts breaking down into the water. Especially in "milk jug" style containers (6 months)
