We're in eastern MA, and probably won't get much besides rain. But who knows with Mother Nature. It doesn't take us much to prepare though. Our neighborhood loses power quickly and easily it seems. We have a gas stove though, so we're still able to cook without power. We also have a wood burning fireplace, so can camp out in one room of our house if we lose power during winter. We go camping regularly, so we've got a camp stove, headlamps, an electric lantern, all that good stuff.
To prepare for Sandy, we've already put away all the lawn furniture and planters, and taken down the string lights we've got on the back patio. We have a chest freezer, so my main concern is always losing all the food if we lose power for too long. So when planning the meals for the next week, I've focused on using up what we've already got tucked away in the freezer, and things that can be cooked on the stove top, not in the oven. For example, we didn't buy any ice cream today, and instead I'll bake some type of dessert this weekend. We'll fill a couple jugs of water just in case, and keep laptops and phones charged.
And we went to the library today to stock up on books. That's always part of our storm prep.
