We didn't expect to be thinking about this so soon after we arrived on the island. Though the tropical depression is a ways off, they are recommending people to prepare just in case. So this morning we went grocery shopping and everyone else was thinking the same thing. There were just a few loaves of bread left and people were buying lots of drinking water. We have enough food for a week or two so not too concerned. We have an oil lamp for lights and our apartment walls are about 16-20 inches thick. This building survived Hurricane Hugo 22 years ago so we feel safe.
Probably the biggest difference in cold weather preparation vs warm weather preparation is storage of refrigerated items. Up north you can always put your milk in a snowbank...none to be seen here. So keeping a bottle of frozen water in the freezer will help keep things cold for a while.
Trusting in the Lord is the most important part of any storm in life. You can't always avoid storms but you have a friend in Jesus who will walk through the storm with you.
