I boarded windows just in case. The steel clips for securing plywood in a brick window frame SUCK! They are almost impossible to work with by yourself with multiple clips for each window board.

I went ahead and filled up an "aquapod" in one of the bathtubs just in case. I had ordered them from disaster supply in 2013 and when I filled it, I found out that since the bag was stored folded up in the (original) box, I had a few small leaks right on the creases! I put a square of duct tape over the hole and it seems to be holding, but I'm thinking that from here on out, I'll consider these things to have a shelf life!
It's never a good idea to daisy chain surge protectors. I also have a UPS battery backup and they tell you to not connect a surge protector to it be cause it is one.
Just learned about aquapods in this thread. I have 3x 5 gal buckets for my bath tub - for flushing.Yeah, the slow leak in the drain was the main reason I bought them... and just to have more potable water in a pinch just in case...
I think I might want to look at getting one of those water bob things. But for potable water, I just use several 5-gallon jerry cans (plastic Scepter containers made specifically for water). I keep them full throughout storm season and maybe empty/refill them once or twice just to keep the water as fresh as possible.
I've always figured the water-in-the-tub deal would be just for flushing and washing, etc., so never bothered buying a water bob. But sometimes tub drains have a slow leak--even with a plug--and a water bob can alleviate that situation.
Do they say why? One would think a surge protector as a doorway or gate. Steel Front door, storm door, burger bar door. Three doors should be safer Than one? Not sure how they can interfere with one another or cause damage.
