oh and lots of batteries.
fill everything possible with water until the storm hits.
Is there danger of the gas going out?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

FWIW, you also may want to have a plan in case power is out for 7+ days. Have supplies on hand for 3+ days, but then figure out what you will do after that in case.

Sue, I counter your offer of the UK with the temptation of msbelle family vacation to Disney World. 3 generations of various types of crazy and giant society accepted CosPlay.

I love unpacking! Hate packing, but unpacking is like organizing from scratch, it's awesome!
I don't want to go to the UK (well, in theory if I had unlimited time and money), but if anyone wants to hit up Mexico with me this Feb/Mar, I've had a great time the past couple years and would love to go again. I think last year I spent ~$500 for a week renting a house that slept 4 and had its own pool (so imagine that split between four people...)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'd be up for Alaska. I've also been noodling about South America, like Chile or Argentina.
meara, that sounds good too. I haven't done a real trip in a while.

This discussion is making me realize how completely unprepared I am for an emergency, and that earthquakes are famous for not giving you advance warning.
