Monday night we had a few small tornadoes touch down within a couple miles of us, and it was terrifying! We never really get that sort of weather -- hurricanes, yes; tornadoes, no. We huddled in the bathroom, our only room without a window, and I felt very unprepared.

It looks like another huge storm is headed our way tonight & it's already knocked out power and done damage in western VA. With this storm approaching and the yearly hurricane we get, I decided today that I need to put together a storm/disaster preparedness kit. So far I have a battery powered lantern, batteries, and bottled water.

If you have a kit, what's in it? What other things should I add?
