Lights and power

A flashlight for each person is nice to have. Even better are battery operated lanterns.

C and D batteries will be hard to find after a storm hits. So stock up in the months before hurricane season. Again, find them on sale and use coupons.

Generators.... you do not need a huge one. We have a 1850 watt, which allowed us to watch a movie every night, run the microwave, fans when it was hot, and we even washed a load of clothes which we hung out to dry. We filled two 5 gallon gas containers before the storm hit which lasted us for 5 days. We were conservative with usage however, only running the generator approx 4 to 6 hours a day.
