As I sit here looking out the window, I can't help but wonder what it will look like about 12 hours from now. By now unless you've been living under a rock you'd know that Hurricane Irene is headed up the east coast. It's definitely going to impact a lot of people. However the hysteria is unnecessary.
I realize that there is potential for a lot of flooding and damage, but for the most part people will be fine. If you live in low lying areas, move everything to higher shelves or ground. Park your car up the street on a hill. Go visit some friends you haven't seen in a while. Hell, take a weekend trip somewhere.
Now we sit and wait. Everything is packed away at my house and I'm just going to sit and wait it out. I've got food, water, and a grill. I'm good to go!

My grill, unfortunately, has electronic controls. We've got a metal fondue pot and candles to heat soup and all with. My biggest concern is being ready to deploy with the MDDF.
