Default How to board up your windows...

I especially liked the idea of letting your washer fill, then shutting it
off. Viola! Some gallons of potable water.

Too, putting your valuable stuff inside the dish washer (it's bolted down
and waterproof) is a clever thought.

Aside:
I don't think I've ever seen a hurricane-preparedness checklist that
included sufficient ammunition...



I would use the water in a washing machine for washing my face, body,
dishes and silverware but I'm not going to drink it. There is enough
detergent residue left in it to cause stomach upset if you drink it.
Perhaps a large garbage bag as a liner for the washer to hold water
and several in the bath tub to keep the water clean. The dishwasher
safe is a cool idea. Perhaps some cheap decoy guns and ammunition
for machine gun wielding government types to seize while your good
real firearms remain hidden. ^_^
