dear californians -

though i don’t live on the NC coast (i’m more central/near the mountains NC), i still deal with hurricanes. they can still be hurricane or tropical storm level by the time they reach here.

the cone of certainty is also kind of uncertain - it can wiggle within the cone, or veer completely off course at any time.

do not underestimate this.

here’s some prep:

in case of power outage -

  • charge everything
  • have batteries
  • have flashlights
  • have non-perishable food
  • have a cooler and ice packs/bags of ice for vital food and medications
  • the food thing is really important for people with dietary restrictions because it can take days for power to be restored
  • open your refrigerator and freezer as little as possible to keep things cool longer

in case of water problems -

  • fill all the water bottles

in case of flooding and evacuation -

  • get a full tank of gas
  • don’t drive through water ffs
  • have cash
  • have a bag packed with clothes, shoes, medications, etc.
  • have a bag packed for your pet(s) with carriers, food, medications, favorite toys, etc.
  • get any important documents together and put them in ziplock bags to protect them from water
  • document any valuable possessions in case of flooding for insurance purposes (move them to higher ground if there’s time)
  • check your flood zone
  • check your flood, home/rent, car insurance policies
  • check your evacuation route

listen to officials and meteorologists. stay calm. have a plan.

thinking of you! feel free to ask me questions and share this.
