Thread already running here without it turning to gun ownership -
http://www.punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16781 Only thing I can add is that it is not a hurricane as Kapohocat mentions and is unlikely to turn into one. We might get a little more rain. Or not.

Looks like Monday is earliest we might get hit by Flossie, though the news says it may pass south of islands. So outdoor activities looks good for this weekend.

But as said above, our water is a little cold right now so it hopefully will dissipate with just some rain and light wind.

Prepare! Buy a 7 day water supply, Canned goods, an off grid cooking heat method in case grid goes down. Batteries. AMMO! Paracord. Flashlights, Emergency supplies, Medical supplies. FILL UP GAS TANK! A Tarp. Duct tape.
If you have a rifle permit, it is not too late to buy another one! Check your automobile completely! Buy and fill up extra gas can. Fire extinguisher!

I guess we are all about to find out how our drainage is. Bottle of wine, most important item on list.
