Topic: Disaster Preparedness Subject: Disaster Preparedness
I am still without power as are thousands of others around the area. It could be much worse though, I am lucky enough to have water.
Anyhoo, this whole incident has got me thinking about being prepared for disasters.
People come up with inventive ways to 'survive' when they have to. Guess it just goes to prove that necessity truly is the mother of invention.
If anyone has suggestions or tips on what you can do in times of power and water outages please post them here. You never know when they might come in handy
Here's some I picked up this week:
* If you have a swimming pool and it still has water in it, bottle that water and use it for flushing toilets and any other "non-sanitary" uses.
* Emergency cash
Credit cards won't work in a power outage, so it's common sense to carry some cash with you at all times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Food Safety in a Power Outage
Perishable foods should not be held above 40 degrees for more than 2 hours. If a power outage is 2 hours or less, you need not be concerned, but how do you save your food when the refrigerator is out for longer times? Being prepared can help. By planning ahead, you can save your perishables.
What do you need?
•One or more coolers. Inexpensive styrofoam coolers can do an excellent job as well.
•Shelf-stable foods, such as canned goods and powdered or boxed milk. These can be eaten cold or heated on the grill.
•A digital quick-response thermometer. A digital thermometer should be a necessity in your kitchen anyway. With these thermometers you can quickly check the internal temperatures of food for doneness and safety.
What to do...
•Do not open the refrigerator or freezer. Tell your little ones not to open the door. An unopened refrigerator will keep foods cold enough for a couple of hours at least. A freezer that is half full will hold for up to 24 hours and a full freezer for 48 hours.
•If it looks like the power outage will be for more than 2-4 hours, pack refrigerated milk, dairy products, meats, fish, poultry, eggs, gravy, stuffing and left-overs into your cooler surrounded by ice.
•If it looks like the power outage will be prolonged, prepare a cooler with ice for your freezer items.
*As soon as the power returns, check temperatures. If the food in the freezer has ice crystals and is not above 40 degrees you can refreeze. Perishable foods in the refrigerator should not be above 40 degrees F. for more than two hours.

Topic: The wrath of Ike Subject: wow...
50 mph winds in Canada? That was pretty far reaching!
People down here are buying up all the leftover summertime grills so they can at least get a hot meal... I'm lazy though I'm gonna forage at a restaurant...if I can find one I can get into! The traffic at the eateries last night was unbeleivable! Traffic jams at all the drive thrus and standing room only inside.
Wish I knew how to hunt and trap something other than a Big Mac.

Did anybody get any damage from Ike?
I live in Ohio and we got very high winds yesterday with gusts up to 78 mph.
There are trees down everywhere including on my garage. Our power is out because of that tree.
Lots of schools and businesses are closed and stop lights are out all over. I've never seen wind like that in my life. Very scary.
Anyhoo, I was just wondering how widespread the damage was and I hope everyone is safe.
