  1. Luckily you won't need bottle water. That's probably going fast. Seems like that and batteries are the first thing to go.

  2. Plenty of no trespassing signs too. Just in case the Houston crowd decides to head North for a little camp out afterwards. If it gets a good piece of Houston, you can bet it'll affect prices, and availability of just about everything in your area. I live a few miles from Tyler. And I've stocked up on everything that I normally use anyway. Plus lots of gas. I could see the price of fuel going up in the next few days.

  3. Travis, just looking at your list. It seems like it's more of a bug out checklist. Now that this storm is headed your way, if you're planning on staying put, I'd suggest that you change some priorities. Since you're a few miles away from the coast, there's no reason to leave. Instead you'll need to stock up on non perishable items. And if you have a generator, you'll need perishable food as well. The stores might not have everything in stock afterwards. Since Laura is scheduled to make landfall as a significant hurricane. I'd also have at least one good chainsaw handy. Along with fuel for it. In fact, I'd fill every car, and gas can I owned. Assuming that you're on municipal water, and not a water well. Fill every water container I own, and the bathtub too. There could be a disruption in service. The amounts you've given,are minimum amounts, and aren't for generous usage at home. As dishes have to be washed, and toilets flushed. Probably won't be any issues, but it's cheap insurance against the worst case scenario. I'd move my cars out from under any trees, and bring pets indoors too. And keep your powder dry, you might need that as well.
