That's what I used when I first got here after the update. Mostly to see if it was okay and it was. 
Helloooooo in here!

Good Luck to all you Easterners. Hoping it's not as bad as predicted. If you can scurry out and get some 2 liter drink bottles, empty contents, fill with cold water and throw in freezer. Leave just a little head room for expansion. If you lose power they will keep your fridge freezer cold and foods in fridge cool for some time. We keep 10 frozen at all times and have much use for them almost every month, year round. My neighbors pull out their small generators to use just for their refrigerators. We don't have to do that with the frozen 2 liter bottles.
As we keep our frozen bottles ready for long periods and they thaw pretty frequently we put a drop of chlorine bleach in the water to keep down any cooties.

That's fine for the suburbanites. If I kept 10 2 liter bottles in my freezer/fridge, I wouldn't need them because there wouldn't be room for anything for them to keep cold.
I actually live very near an evacuation zone, which doesn't make me too happy. I have the food and water I need on hand. Just stopped at the corner supermarket on my way home for a few useful-but-non-essential items. I probably shouldn't have bothered. The lines were horrendous even with all the cashiers working at full speed.
My preparations so far:
Remove everything from the terrace
Go to gym and try to get back to forgive me for the above
Charge cell phone
To come:
Refill my daily pill dispenser.
Put meds, clean clothes, bird food & dishes in tote bags
Get bird carrying cages out of closet
Make sure all e-cigarette batteries are fully charged

Nothing up here yet, Jane, just a little wind and a little rain. The worst of it is supposed to hit us tomorrow.
They do now.
Actually, most vendors include it in account info so Deej and some others have it but, if the electricity goes, I'm incommunicado. I have a corded phone packed in a box on a top shelf. I'm not planning to get it down.
