Michael Petruccelli says; after the storm, it's time to assess the damage. keep your battery operated radio close for news reports about damage and road closures, power outages and emergency instructions. With three to seven days of uncertainty, depending on the storm, you'll need to rely upon what you've stored for food, water & medications and entertainment. If the county is hit with a Category 3, 4 or 5 hurricane, it could be weeks or months before life gets back to normal.
