I took my backup propane tank to get re-filled so I'd have 2 tanks to cook with in case of a power loss. (meat, meat and more meat) My grill has a sideburner for boiling water too.
I have a huge case of bottled water in the attic for emergencies.
Ended up with about 3 inches of rain, some tame 30 MPH gusts and loss of power for a morning. Dodged it all. Just some leaves to sweep off the deck.
Family on LI also got a lot less than expected.
Hope everyone here was and is safe.
Coincidentally, my newborn daughter's (born 2 weeks ago) middle name is IRENE. I was born during a tornado in MD that took out the bridge to the hospital too.
