Hurricane Biatch...right Bryster...hehe :) Thanks for the tips Pakled and Ang. We have all the extreme necessities such as duct tape, propane stove, canned goods, batteries for the AM/FM shortwave radio, scanner, weatherband radio, etc...also a handheld TV...love that thing. I got a few pics at the beach tonight I can post up...I'm gonna try to do before, during and after shots...prob just from the apartment here but anyhoo. :) MD
