Re: Hurricane tips for survival
1.) When a storm is coming, freeze gallon jugs of water for a few days. The longer they sit in the freezer,
the harder they freeze, up to a point. This provides large ice blocks that resist melting in an ice chest,
much longer than cubes. Once the inevitable happens and they melt, you have fresh water in bulk. You
can also use rock salt and ice cubes to keep them from melting as fast, since they are sealed jugs.
2.) Fill your bathtub with water....take a square of plastic sheeting or some saran wrap and place it under
your stopper for a better seal. This provides flush water, boilable water for drinking and cooking, and water
to spit bathe with. You never know whether your local water system will be compromised, or how long it
will take to clean out. This water CAN save your butt.
