Yeah, we know the reports of most storms are overblown. But New England can and does get some doozy storms from time to time - storms that knock out power, close roads, cause floods, rip off roofs, throw trees onto buildings, etc.

If a major hurricane or blizzard hits, are you ready? Do you know what you would drink if the water was not safe? What you would eat if the power went out? How would you cover over windows? Do you know where your flashlights and batteries are? Where you would go if you had to evacuate? Disaster Supply Kit Checklist

TS Hanna is a good reminder to get those emergency supplies together. Fall or winter, there may be more to come.
