I'm preparing for a long-term power outage. Dug out the Coleman coolers, putting the blue ice packs in the freezer, filling all the ice cube trays. Buying a weeks worth of bottled water (for me & the cats), Pepsi, crackers, peanut butter, breakfast bars - basically anything that don't need cooking. Of course batteries. Neighbor has a gas grill - if power stays off we'll grill up the meat in our freezers. Charge up your cellphones, ereaders, etc. If you have large windows, maybe a tarp in case of a break/crack. Do all your laundry the night before it hits. If your water supply depends on electricity, fill your tubs & sinks - so you can still flush toilets.
