Bread? Buy flour and yeast, bake while you still have power (or in a gas oven old enough not to care about power, but those are getting rare. Or a Dutch oven if it comes down to burning wood later on.) But only where getting out is not the bigger priority...
Not much exciting here since Irene, and that suits us just fine. With much agony and wailing about what a great community it had been, the "senior mobile home park built unwisely on a flood plain" that was wiped out locally was NOT rebuilt - new housing was built on literally higher ground and that area has reverted to uses that won't be a problem when the waters rise again. Would that some planning commission in the 1950's had said "nope, that's a flood plain, they flood, you can't put mobile homes there."
According to some of the tracks we could get a taste of the tail end in a week or so, but it's unusual (hello Irene, and that was mostly the rain and terrain) for much oomph to be left once they get here, 100+ miles inland.
