We are getting the 80mph winds here and up to 12 inches of rain maybe more.
On the GA FLA boarder

mayonnaise is out guys. It makes me spike. Tuna I will put on my list but
I am not sure about the potted meats etc. spam and such? I kind of thought
they were loaded with carbs because of the fillers in them? I haven't
found a cracker yet I can eat. I am stuck with water also. Crystal Light
so far works for me though. Thanks everyone for your help I am making a
list now. I just hope the store isn't depleted of this stuff. I
stuffed my freezer with everything i could that would hold water. I even
have the door lined with a row of platic cups with water in them. It was by
Gods grace i ended up with a cooler last week. My daughter left it behind
because she didint have room for it in the car. I don't own boots. I will
get my papers together too in the morning. Plus get the paper goods also.
You all are a big help. Thanks guys your swell.
