Over the last month, two hurricanes barely missed me. Luckily, neither caused me any significant inconvenience. Sadly, others were not as lucky, and I think this is a good time to do a little "Lessons Learned" exercise. It made me reconsider some of my emergency preparations. I will take a "geek spin" on emergency preparedness in this post. There are better sources to talk about what food to store and how to fill your tub with sufficient water. I will focus more on power and data connectivity. At least once, someone complained that the "Internet Storm Center" does not talk about the weather. This post should keep them happy :).
