When the power goes out, ATMs don't work, so you better have cold hard cash on hand to buy things, things that may be overpriced in a time of shortage. While I lived in Florida I would take out a few extra bucks in cash from the ATM each month during the winter so that I would have a few hundred saved by hurricane season. When hurricane season was over, I used it to pay the babysitter or whatever. After Wilma I went south to pick up my great aunt, and take her back to Tampa. All the gas stations down there were closed because there was no power. On the way down, on I-95, I saw a lot of pick-ups carrying a bed full of gas cans. What do you think they charged for gas? You know they didn't take credit cards... Cash means CASH!

I own a small catamaran that's parked on the beach. Although convenient for use, it's a big pain to have to remove it from the beach every single time there's a storm. I guess flying boats are not a good thing... Very true. I own a small catamaran that’s parked on the beach.
