I will just spend the night at the hospital where I work. Showers, cafeteria, and adjustable beds galore.

FCPS only have a three hour early release. They should have cancelled the how day, do that kids have time to prepare.

Again, explain how this one makes sense?? Do your faucets run on electric or something????
DP, but if you have well water, that doesn't work when the power is out so you don't have water. I guess the answer to your question is yes, the faucets run on electricity.
Our well pump runs on electricity so no pump, no water, no flushing the toilet. The water in the bathtub is used to fill the toilet tank so the toilet can be flushed.

If you don’t have a garage, try to park your car somewhere safe.
Charge your devices. If you don’t have a backup battery or portable power station—they are really handy. They have them at Auto Zone.
Buy a bit of food you don’t need to cook or keep cold.
Have a couple of jugs of water.
Eat anything expensive you have in your freezer for dinner tonight.
Get flashlights ready.

The only thing I am doing to prep is taking my sturdier umbrella to work, wearing my rain boots, and leaving early before the storm starts during rush hour.

Last time we lost power, we watched movies and charged our phones in the Tesla.

Charged my Ryobi batteries. I can use them to run a phone charger or a fan as needed. Otherwise, Sunday is always laundry and grocery shopping.

I don't even know what storm you're talking about

I fill up square plastic containers with water and freeze and put some in the fridge and some in freezer and keep the door shut until power comes back on.

That's about it. Whatever else happens, will happen.
Other people do an everything shower? I thought it was just me! I call it my business shower.

If we lose power then we’ll check into a nearby hotel. Our house is all-electric and we’re on well water.
