With the approach of Tropical Storm Pabuk I have begun thinking about what I am going to need to get through the weekend.

 

When faced with a possible life or death situation it is normal to want to be with your loved ones. So I have asked May and her friend May to stay with me. I am fortunate as I have just met them both four days ago and they expressed their love for me almost immediately. So I have that covered.

 

I don't want to risk overlooking anything so I am open to suggestions of what I should pick up at the market in the next couple of days.

 

As an American I have all the things listed in this kit already. Thanks for any input:

 

 

 

Is your home prone to flooding?

Would be my first concern.

Move important/valuable stuff to safe place and think how to evacuate in time to higher grounds.

Incl. car/vehicle. Tank filled up.

Expect power outages, batteries, batteries.. for torch lights/emergency lights.

Mobile phone net should survive.

So have power-banks and mobile phones charged.

Couple of days? I would hurry up tomorrow.

 

Lots more for others to add...

Stay home?

My wife suggests otherwise.

Fill up your car and get north

May and May want to stay at my house. I tried to explain the flat screen may not work but they did not care.

OK I got two phones, really important things like all my girlfriends phone numbers and LINE accounts are backed up.

two external batteries.

No need to hide when you can run

Water, water, and more water.  Drinking water, that is. 

 

I still recall the flood of 2011 when it was hard to find drinking water in many areas.  I also stocked up on crackers and cans of tuna and sardines.  Stuff that wasn't perishable, and didn't need to be cooked.  Thank goodness I didn't need them, but I did go through gallons and gallons of bottled water.

the storm is predicted to move more to the south which means it may not rain so much here. I don't think I will tell May and May. 

Sounds like you should stock up on condoms and beer. ????

Yes indeed - head north. Sunny, warm and tranquil up here in Isaan but chilly during the night.

With the storm getting ever close ( I presume , just sun and calm up here ) are you still sure May and May will stay or may May and May leave 'till April ?

Everyone gets kicked out of the house after three days, rain or shine.

Yeah, sounds risky only having May and May.   Disaster mitigation specialists would have May, May and May organised for a 3 day survival exercise.  ????

the rain will start in two hours here in HH. I have May and May filling sand bags.

Good for you I feel sure May and May will be busy come what may.

Whisky and cigars.
