Water shortages and huge gas lines. I’ve been hearing talk of evacuations but it isn’t likely my family will do it. I’m really worried about my dog š„ Just in case, I’ll pack a bag with essentials and keep it close. I’m prepping for the worst!

I just lost my home due to Hurricane Harvey, and I know so many are about to be in the same position because of Hurricane Irma. So, here is a flood victimās advice on what you need to do before the shit hits the fan.Ā
1.) If you have pets get ready to move them. If you donāt have a carrier, find one. Make sure they all have identification with an up to date phone number. Pack food for them in air tight containers. You can replace walls and furniture but not furry family.Ā
2.) Loosing the big shit is gonna hurt but the little things are what really matters. Photos, family heirlooms, your favorite jacket all need to be in something air tight and up high.Ā
3.) In fact put as much stuff as you can up higher. Anything in your lower cabinets, dresser drawers, under your sink needs to be moved. Clothing will mold and rot even if it isnāt in direct contact with the water. Stuff that shit in garbage bags and put up somewhere.Ā
4.) Your fridge is doomed. once the power goes out the food will all go bad. throw out as much as you can before to avoid a disgusting mess. I had a whole ice-cream cake and fermented soy beans in my freezer and let me tell you when they mix together and sit for a few days you would rather set the whole thing on fire than clean it
5.) HAVE A GO BAG! A small backpack or something that is big enough for extra clothes, dry socks, flashlight, water, any of your prescription medication, first aid kit, toothbrush, and phone charger. Your phone needs to be charged as often as you can.Ā
6.) If you canāt evacuate now, you might have to later. Know where the closest shelter is and any phone numbers you need to call if there is an emergency in your area. Find high ground and if water is already on the road donāt drive.Ā
7.) SHOWER NOW! shower before the storm. I had to sit in the same wet clothes for 2 days without a shower. Be prepared to stink.Ā
This is going to suck no matter how much you prep, but prepping might save you some heart ache in the end. If I think of anything else I wish I did Iāll add it. Please reblog even if you are not in an affected area.Ā
Good luck, stay safe, and Iām sorry.Ā
Please stay safe out there
Thank you very much! There’s a shortage of water around here already, but we’re pretty well prepared aside from that āŗ I promise to keep you and everyone else updated! I’d hate to worry anyone š

His entire face lit up with surprised glee. He took it carefully with trembling, reverent hands and slipped it on his ring finger. It looked much too beautiful to even touch him, but Sarah got it for him. He might not think himself worth all her love, but she did, and he would have to trust her judgement on this.
Techie gave a watery smile and pressed a little kiss to her cheek. “Consider th-this an advance ‘I do’,” he whispered, and kissed her again. He didn’t care that they were in full view of the cafeteria goers; he pulled Sarah into his lap and kissed the hell out of her.
Techie froze and felt ice run through his veins. Why is Kylo Ren, of all people, talking to him?! The blood is pulsing so hard in his ears that he doesnāt even know what the man is saying, and can only stare blankly at him.
āUm, ah,ā he says, very intelligently.
And then bolts for the nearest exit.
When Ren’s hand settles comfortingly on his shoulder, Techie practically melts. The weight of it is reassuring, and his skin is warm like sitting before a fireplace, all snug. He smiles wide before he can school his expression into something less lovestruck. “Nope. I n-never invite people over… You’re the f-first! Including you, I only h-have one other friend anyways. I don’t know who else I’d, ah, th-throw a party for.”
Iām such a laid back person you can tell me āgoodnightā and I can see you posting and I understand sometimes you just need time to yaself to enjoy ur dash without talking to anybody, i get ya shorty do ya thingĀ
This is so important
