DOMINIQUE
Live in new orleans and hurricane Issac is coming . My family is not leaving , so how could i prepare myself ?
Answer
Here are the 10 things off the top of my head that should be on your lists that most people forget to do if you decide to stay and are usually not listed on most safety manuals.
1. Let people know that you are staying. This will make search and rescue easier if someone can tell them for sure that there were people inside the structure that used to be your home.
2. Make sure your home is not in a flood prone area or in an area where if a nearby levee goes, you home will be flooded. If you do live in this type of area, make sure you know where you can go if flood waters starts to enter your home. Keep life jackets on or nearby in case you need to use them
3. Make sure that you have at least 1 week supply of food and water for the entire family and be prepared for at least one week to one month without gas and electric power. It usually take much longer than people think to restore basic services.
4. If you plan to move up to the attic as flood water rises in your home, make sure you bring a saw. Many people who take shelter in the attic may get trapped in the attic if the flood water levels rises above the rooftop level. A saw will help you cut a hole so that you can escape.
5. Once the storm starts, it is better to stay put than to panic and try to get to one of the safe shelters in your community. It is very dangerous to try to move during a storm with winds as strong as hurricane strength.
6. Make sure all the windows and doors have plywood to prevent any blowing debris from entering your house and c damage and injury or death to any family members taking shelter inside. During the storm, stay away from doors and windows even if they are protected by plywood.
7. Make sure that you fill your gas tank in your car before the storm hits. Bring a bicycle inside to protect them. They maybe the best way that you can get around relatively quickly after a storm has ended. Remember to watch out for down power lines and live wire after the storm.
8. Have all cell phones charged up as well as any rechargeable batteries you have in your home. Use flashlights with LED bulbs...they are bright and last much longer than other kinds of flash lights.
9'. Make sure you have designated a place that all your family will know if they get lost or if something happens that will force your family to scattered. Also the family should agree on a location or a place where hand written messages can be left for other family members after the storm.
10, Make sure you have a NOAA weather or NOAA All-Hazards radio with fresh batteries and backup so that you can monitor the latest update on the storm situation.
Oh, one more thing. Wear bright color or fluorescence color clothes so that it will be easy for you to find one another after the storm or for others to find you.
There are many other standard advices that can be found easily on the net that you should review.

I'm wanting to buy an electric hybrid bicycle. looking at the Victory folding electric bike. anyone own one?
jane_doe_e
the whole product description is- Victory folding 6-speed 180W Power Assist 12"/16" electric bicycle. it is sould through amazon but absolutely no customer reviews can be found anywhere. not asking much for the price, just wonering if it is a complete lemon.
Answer
I did not see the ad, but I can tell you 180 watts is nothing. we have a 750 watt limit here in the USA for a reason.
Europe has a 250 watt limit and everyone is complaining there.
I80 watts is too small, it borders on being a toy.
found the ad:
However, for the price, if you are a smaller person (under 150lbs) and will pedal a lot with it, it just might be OK.
I like e-folders, and want one. I have every kind of ebike in the shop, if I was not in the trade, I would be tempted by this. Oh and wasn't 6'2" and 230lbs.
