Everyone in CT is wondering is Earl going to change course? And How bad is it going to be? I myself am debating on whether evacuating or not would be beneficial. I've been through a few hurricanes and have never evacuated. So has Richard, my husband. I'm all for being prepared. My motto: "I'd rather look stupid and be prepared or be stupid and not have done anything.". And that statement couldn't be more true.
What harm is it to stock up on some non-perishables, medical supplies, water, batteries, flashlights etc.? Then come across the day when something big strikes, and have the possibility of being evacuated or worse, stranded without supplies. I don't see that as stupidity. An ounce of prevention yadda yadda yadda so the saying goes. Those of you who know it feel free to fill in. My husband wasn't too keen on the idea of preparing for this so-called hurricane. He's from FL and lived through many, many storms. So of course he would be the expert. Until I pointed out the flooding in March and the various confirmed tornadoes that have touched down in recent months. Then he changed his tune. I told him, "I would rather look stupid in stocking up, than to be stupid and not have prepared at all.".
Sorry about the grammar mistakes.
I completely agree. It's good to have that stuff even if you only lose power! Better to be safe than sorry for sure.
