As you decide whether or not you need to evacuate, put together a Go Bag for each member of your household—a pre-prepared packet you can grab and go at a moment's notice. It should include copies of all important documents—passports and proof of address—preferably in a waterproof container. Keep extra sets of your keys, $50 to $100 in cash and your credit cards, a flashlight, a first aid kit and bottled water. And this is especially important—make sure you have any medication you need, enough to last several days if you can't make it back to a pharmacy, along with detailed information about your dosages and your doctor's contact information. Think of it this way—if something happens to you, your Go Bag should be able to speak for you.

Make sure you have emergency supplies on hand—enough imperishable food and water to last for a few days, should things get bad. How much? The government suggests that you have at least 1 gallon daily per person, for three to seven days. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to go out and buy that much bottled water. If you're like me, you have far too many half empty plastic bottles strewn around your house. Fill them up from the tap before the storm hits.

I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

His Facebook updates made me chuckle:

"Good bye New York City it was fun while it lasted. Bloomy announced the first mandatory evacuation in history for all residents in zone A, I'm in zone B. Mass transit will be shut down tomorrow... Peace!"

"I have a 4yo to protect. I'm not worried about the hurricane, I'm worried about the millions of dipshits that will freak if power goes out, floods happen, MTA goes down and whatever else might happen. I'm going into the woods! Lol"
