This is not such a fun task, but if you have the time, clean and sanitize while you still have power and the luxury of hot water. After a few days without power, even the tidiest of us will have areas that get funky fast. I did this before Iselle and was so glad, as we were without power for nine days. Kitchen sinks and prep areas, bathrooms, floors and rugs. Also catch up on laundry as we'll be without that luxury, too.
And, the morning of the storm, fill your bathtub with water for toilet flushing, and of course all of your drinking water vessels. If you're on catchment, rig up a hose and faucet device to access it easily for refilling the tub, etc.
If this storm hits as predicted, even if not the eye, we will likely have downed trees again and extended power outages. More areas than Puna will likely get affected, so recovery might be slower. I think we had such a great response post Iselle, in part, because we were the only area that needed assistance. More than one island is likely to get hit, too.
Blessings to one and all. Hold on for the ride!!
