yeah make sure you're careful with any indoor heat sources. my mom just lost a side of her house and 2 motorcycles to a rouge salamander

Well the storm got me off my lazy butt and to the store for a few things I have been needing to pick up. Picked up 20 gallons of kerosene, a couple new wicks for the kerosene heater, a new CO monitor, five cases of water, couple boxes of candles, replaced batteries in flashlights, new tank for the gas grill, and a couple of cartons of smokes. I hope its not as bad as folks are making it sound.... better safe than sorry, however.

All of you fellow INGO'ers stay safe!

First "disaster" as a married guy. I'm on the far Northside of Indy. I bought 4 bundles of wood, fire starters, water, batteries, CO detector, Salt, cat litter (traction), and cold friendly food. Now I just have to get the gas cans and the grill's propane tank filled and I'm set.

If we really get an inch of ice, then everyone's cars will be frozen solid. Depending on wind direction/speed during the icing, many house doors may be frozen shut.

Not my vehicles, that what they build garages for!

7. Stove is propane, so cooking is covered.
Most important of all! My camping percolator coffee maker. Can't be without coffee!

Does the stove have a pilot light, or is it electric ignition? It will not work in a power outage if it's electric ignition, unless there is someway to light them manually. I've never had the electric ignition kind, anyone know if it's possible?

Light a match hold it near the burner. Turn the burner on.

Freezing rain at 79th and Zionsville where I work. Same thing all the way home around I-465 to 10th and Girlschool. Roads weren't slick....yet, but they will be soon I'm sure.

I've got 48 hours worth of propane, and plenty of food and water. Also have a butane powered stove in case since I'm totally electric.

A couple of co-workers called EVERYWHERE this afternoon looking for propane heaters. One guy finally found one somewhere in Plainfield where he lives, but he texted me and said he can't find any propane. Hope he finally does! MAN I'm glad I went out and bought mine yesterday!

Best of luck to everyone and be safe!

I find it simply amazing how many People in Indiana have no Plan B...

Harbor Freight southern plaza has a stack of "MrHeater" type propane heaters for $26 each. I didn't need one, but at that price I grabbed one anyways. Circle K at 144 and 37 has exchange bottles in stock, or Flying J at 465 and 37 fills bottles.

plan b?
RUNNNNNnnnn!

 

[U.S. Patriot]

It's not doing anything in Columbus as of now. Just waiting to see if I'll have to bug out to mom and dads.

 

[mskendall]

Plan B. They now sell it over the counter at most pharmacies. I believe it is close to $50 or something.

Really though, I found it rather amusing how many people at the store were running around frantically like the end is here. It is hard to imagine what it will be like if something devastating(long term) occurs.
