Hurricane

So having moved back into the Houston area this year, means that a lot of hurricane preparation that I had previously done has gone to the way side, or those important objects are nowhere to be found after the move.  As soon as I feel that I have supplies that I want in hand, I am sure that no hurricane will pass by after this area being so devastated by Hurricane Ike last year, but you never know.  Here are a few things that I have gathered up for the next bad weather event.
