Michael Petruccelli asks: What should you do - Once You Hear A Hurricane May Be Coming Your Way? (3)

Michael Petruccelli says:  Be sure to gather food and water, because a hurricane may last for a while. Canned food is the only kind acceptable for an event such as a hurricane. Try to have already prepared foods that can be eaten without cooking (you may not have electricity for a few days) such as canned chicken, tuna fish, and again, make sure the food is fresh.

Michael Petruccelli says :  Keep in mind that many hurricanes are slow travelers. Once you hear about it, chances are you have several days to finalize your plans. Be careful, though; some hurricanes can go up to 80 km/h, especially near the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Keep informed go to the National Hurricane Centers website for updated info on the storm threatening your area. Another good resource is the Weather Underground website.
