Go out to the RV and crank up the generator and make some coffee!

Bad times. Lord, keep this lovely family safe xx

I want everyone to be safe. I love watching Phyllis's videos. Take care.

You need old fashioned percolator for coffee. Use empty tuna fish cans put tea candles in them use about four. Place in cast iron frying pan, out metal grate or cake cooling rack over and then light candles but thin frying pan on top and heat soup water or whatever!!i have lined my cast iron frying pan with foil. It works good to heat things up takes about 20 min

Another option for coffee is cold brew. I didn't know one could do this until last summer. Just put ground coffee in a "tea bag" (bags for making almond milk, available on Amazon), put into a large glass jar and fill with cold water. Let sit for 14-18 hours, lift out the grounds, and voila! coffee. Heat up as needed or drink cold. Keeps about a week, better if refrigerated, but a few days without power would be fine on the counter.

What a neat idea. I’ve rode it out through lots of power outages with hurricanes in my life. Living on the coast this is good to remember.

Such a gorgeous neighborhood. I love being safe and snug inside on a wildly ferocious rainy windy day! 💜💛🧡

It is so sweet the way Steely is looking at Mr Bucky while he was on his lap.

Phyllis, I'm so happy you all are safe and your home is good! Please be careful!

Some of your best videos are when you and mr Bucky are sharing your daily lives... love them

I'm so glad to see you and Mr. Bucky are ok and with minimal damage. I was thinking of you two and praying for your safety.

Hi Phyllis, hope everything turns fine. Wishing you the best, long time subscriber !

Glad you made it threw the hurricane. Many here in south FL were praying very hard for it to move away from the coast. And those prayers worked too!!! Thanks for sharing your video and recalling the good ole days. :-) I remember my grandparents doing the same thing, hanging out around the table after dinner and just talking. Good memories!

I too fondly remember days sitting with my grandparents around a fire in the fireplace after dinner and the power out. Wonderful times with them for sure; just talking and sharing stories.

I'm happy that you both were safe and no major damage.

I live in Jacksonville, Florida and I had to evacuate for 3 days..I was so glad to get home..I'm glad y'all made it through♥

I just love your little dogs, so beautiful.

Very glad you're safely through it. We have dozens of old mature pines around our property, and I worry every time it storms, so I know what you mean. Blessings to you and Mr. Bucky.

That looks like a very scary storm. We live in kansas so we dont have hurricanes, but its a tornado state. What a cute doggie! 😊

I am so grateful for this video! It is like the History Channel only a thousand times better! Brilliant you two are documenting it. Miss Phylis, Mr. Bucky was more patient without his coffee than I EVER would have been! I would have made 2 thermoses of it the night before and be happy to drink it cold.....but I'd have to have it! You both did so well! thru this storm! So glad for you.

Glad you're all safe!!!!!

Glad to hear you all are ok and with no damage, except the roof. Thanks for the update. Take care Susie in TN

So happy to know you are all safe.

Thank you for the update...very happy to know you, Mr. Bucky, Peppy and Steely are OK.

I have been thinking of you both and the dogs. Sending you all good thoughts and prayers.

I know it's kinda late but look into one of those small Honda generators, they're the best. It would be handy for your RV and your mountain home.

So happy you are safe. Blessings

I'm so happy to hear and see you both are ok hope you get power very soon

I'm so pleased that you both are safe. God is good!

I live in Vero Beach. And Vero Beach is in the Treasure Coast and we were supposed to get a direct heat! We have three cats and were very concerned. We had storm shutters put up and prepared for the worst. Thank God it turned and went up the coast, which was unfortunate for the people up north, but so lucky for us!

Glad everyone is OK. My niece and her fiance had just moved to Charleston where she is going to law school. They ended up evacuating and coming back to Va until everything has settled down. Looking forward to more of your great videos. Ya'll take care.

HI, Ms. Phyllis! Glad to know that the electricity is back on and that you all are safe! Oh, and those strawberry eclairs....WOW! They look so good! Awww! There's Steeley and Peppie! I miss Wheeler! :(

That was a really interesting video. So many times, we just get to see what happens to residents according to what the news shows us. This video allowed us viewers to see what it's like from a home. It's kind of spooky when the electricity is out, isn't it? And it's sure a reminder of how much we rely on it. I haven't seen a transistor radio since I was a small child, but you got me thinking how important one might be for emergency preparedness.

I'm glad to know you and Mr Bucky are safe

Praise. The Lord! you're safe. Since i heard of Matthew I've been praying for ya all. Even looked up how far you were from the coast. Thank you for letting us know.

Hi, Phyllis! I just, saw this - Hurricane Matthew was a direct hit to Sanford, FL. The top of my next door neighbor's fell in our back yard and we had LOTS of branches fall from our big camphor tree. Our power was out for a week. Fortunately, I have natural gas utilities and spent the last half of the week canning all the food that was thawing out in my freezer!

glad you guys are safe! prayers for you all

I live in Charleston - Matthew was more of a tree nuisance than any substantial damage (other than some spotty stuff). Hugo, on the other hand, was my worst nightmare. No power for 3.5 weeks, no water for 2 weeks, every roof damaged badly, we lost 40% of our trees, many many people lost their homes, my friend had her house split completely in half by a big pine tree. No stores were opened for days. My granddaughter was born in downtown Charleston on Sept 24, 1989 and her mama had to be taken to the hospital in a fire truck because it was the only vehicle that could make it through the flooding at the height of the storm. I hope we don't have anything like this again, I am just to old to eat beenie weenies and spam for weeks at a time.

I remember the night Hugo hit it was very scary and we are about 90 minutes from Charleston, I know it was much worse for you. Our two boys were at the Citadel and got to come home early before the hurricane hit.

Glad to hear your safe and sound.

so glad y'all made it through fine. here in hopkins we had trees down and our power was out for two days.

very happy to her you are okay!

Hurricane Matthew hit us in central Florida. Sorry to hear you were impacted by this storm. We only had plants knocked over. Cars and house are ok. Keep the great videos coming. Well wishes and prayers!!!

I'm glad you are all ok. Hugs to you guys 🙏🏻

OH MY GOODNESS I CAN SURE HEAR THE GUST. YOUR BABIES ARE SO SWEET AND CUTE...SO GLAD YOU AND MR. BUCKY ARE SAFE.

I am so very thankful for the Lords protection over you both

Glad you all made it though.the storm. It just shows God is always with his people. God bless

Bless all the people who are going through hurricane Matthew! Phyllis u have beautiful hair! Be safe!🌞

👍 Glad you both are okay. 🤗 Your dogs are sooo cute.

glad to see your both ok blessings to you both

sending prayers for you both out of harms way♡

I'm glad you came through the hurricane largely unscathed. Best regards.

Glad to see your both ok.

So glad y'all are ok.

Been worried about you 2. So glad everything is OK. Stay safe and God Bless everyone.

Charleston has been flooded so many times and yet its remains that gracious southern lady...

Glad you and Mr Bucky and the babydogs are ok. I would think about using the propane and/or generator on the rv for heating up food and making coffee. Think camping.

Happy that you are safe and sound. Thanks for sharing this with us, btw, you look great even in a hurricane.

I'm so glad you guys are safe and the power is restored. The weatherman said we would feel no affect of Matthew here in Southern Maryland, but we got 3 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 45 mph and sustain winds between 15 and 25 mph. Thank the Lord it's over. We never lost power buy it Flickered a few times. God bless you and Mr. Bucky. Thanks, Darren.

Yes, that is one job that they can get wrong and still get paid a pretty penny!

I live in the Greensboro NC area and yes we had some pretty good wind gust up here. We got lots of rain and had flash flooding. People close to the coast are seeing a lot more damage and major flooding. Glad to see you had very little damage and hope you don't go without power long.

Have been concerned for you folks your in my prayers

Was in Mobile for both Hurricanes Camille and Fredric. After Fred, no power at my apartment for 7 days. We cooked in a small hibatchi grill (maybe 2' x 1') on our patio and neighbors came together and we fed each other.

Rejoicing that you all are ok

Glad to hear you didn't get much damage. We have a generator when storms take out our electric plus we have a woodburning stove in the house. I always have stocks of candles and even my Dad's oil lamp that he did his homework by.

Yeah we got it bad in Robeson County. We've had hurricanes but nothing like this. My parents power was out for a whole 7 days...friends and family lost their homes and cars.

Phyllis I live in Palm Coast, FL & Hurricane Matthew hit us very hard. We had winds up to 120 mph. We we lucky that out house was saved but we had lots of trees down. We have been without power since Thurs. morning. We are using our charcoal grill to cook on but we are losing food from our refigerator & freezer. We have water so we have been taking cold showers........LOL Glad you are safe. Hurricane Matthew was a real bugger bear.

So glad ya'll are ok!

The hurricane was hell in Myrtle Beach. We were not in an evacuated area and a huge pine fell right near me in the house. I had no windows but felt the thunderous boom beneath my feet. I later found that the tree just missed my house by inches. Branches were impaled into the ground, we couldn't get them out so we dug down and cut them and buried them. I have never felt so terrified through a hurricane in my life, and this was only a Cat 1. I have been through 3's and 4's. Just glad it's over.

Thankful that you came through!

Glad to see you are okay.

Glad you guys are o.k. I lived in Charlotte,NC when Hugo came thru. Hugo tore up Charlotte! We were without power three weeks! And it was miserably HOT too... So, hopefully this will be it for "hurricane season"...

Well, I thank God y'all are all right. From AFAR, it looks almost cozy there with your little doggies snuggled up with you. Even my 150-pound dogs wouldn't like it outside in that storm, I can tell you. :o)

So glad you all are ok!

Glad you and your dogs are safe. Look into making cold brew coffee so you can always have some on hand. Especially if you end up without power for several days. Also, my late husband and I used to keep one of those coleman camping stoves on hand for power outages. And a "power outage drawer" where we kept a lot of candles and matches stocked, along with several flashlights. Had a burst pipe here, so a bit of a flood that also filled the furnace with water and mud. Without water for only a few days, but still don't have heat. So nights and mornings here are cold, but not much you can do when you rent and manager/owner really don't want to fix things. Some people just don't understand that prevention and maintenance are less costly. Glad the temps aren't yet down to freezing, so far.

Glad you are all OK!!!

I'm glad to you and your husband are okay😍

I was worried. Glad you all are safe.

I am so glad you are ok. I remember the storms that took out the power for days...also..we camped for 6 weeks every summer. no power, no water, no tv.. just people and propane lights. it was calm and nice. even with three teenage girls.....my parents were brave or crazy.. haha. no electronic anything in those days anyway. we had real books, real games and real people. lots of campfires...thanks for the vid.

I knew it was going to be bad. I was praying for your safety. Storms are predicted to be worse and worse. I dread winter!

Praying for you,blessings to all you have been effective by the storm..

Oh i see another cute little doggie! You have 2 of them! 😄 I just noticed that! Lol!!

Glad you are OK !

Mrs. Phyllis, how are things your way now? I noticed you haven't responded to any comments. We had minor damage here in S.E. North Carolina, but neighboring towns, not so lucky. They are all flooded. People have lost their homes, and some have lost loved ones. Prayers for all impacted by this storm!

Good to hear everyone is ok. As I watch I started to think that, I need to start a emergency kit.

Glad you are ok!

glad your both safe

Im glad you guys are ok, bless you

Glad your ok ya all! Wow take care... God bless.

Glad you're safe.

glad y'all are doing good. Glad you didn't get blown away.

amen! you are all ok!

We live in Florida but since we are on the west coast we did not get anything but a little wind. The east coast got hammered. Do they make hot plates that run on batteries? Mr. Bucky needs to have his coffee, haha!

Thank God you all are okay. I was very concerned about you.

I'm glad you're all okay! I was thinking that the RV would have power, if you went and started it! Oh well, just glad you made it through. :)

We actually started our generator in the front of the RV and ran an extension cord through the kitchen window to plug up the freezer since our electricity had been out long enough for the freezer to start to thaw slightly. After this only about two hours later the electricity came back on but we still did not have the internet but for a few hours and it went out again this time for two more days. We just got the internet back a couple of hours ago so I'm sure hoping it stays on now.

Mary Raybon very glad you came through ok. We're no where near where a hurricane would be (we have tornadoes) so it's intimidating to think what it must be like to go through hurricane conditions for hours and hours.

Mr. Bucky needs to get him a small Coleman stove so he can heat his water when the power goes out, to make his coffee lol

very very very happy to her you are okay!

Hi Phyllis, I was wondering what sort of things you all have in your emergency package, perhaps even do a video on it if you think it would be of interest.

We have all the things needed during emergencies but they are not kept in one place so they can be easily accessed, example - Mr. Bucky lost the flashlight and we both searched the house in the dark trying to find it - it was sitting beside his chair the whole time.

justmikey101 one flashlight and no canned food is a tough way to get through a hurricane. I live off the gulf of Mexico, you have to be more prepared than that. canned stew, canned tuna, crackers, canned pasta (spaghetti Os etc.), canned fruit. canned juice. cookies or candies to keep your spirit up. oil lamps, hurricane lamp and emergency radio.

This is an old video, but there are inexpensive rechargeable emergency lights. You leave them plugged in, and when power goes out they come on. We've had one for more than 10 years and it still lights in an outage. It can be unplugged and used as a flashlight to help you find other supplies.

your voice to me is so comforting. you're my female Bob ross.😚😚

This would be the perfect time for you to show everyone this stove that I purchased for when the lights go out. It's a fantastic propane countertop stove that will be a huge help when things like this happen. It's called the "GAS ONE GS-3000 Portable Gas Stove with Carrying Case, 9,000 BTU, CSA Approved, Black" $24.99 (Amazon) and I got it because of one of my KZread friends showing it, and liking it so much. You will have to purchase the cans of propane that fit in the stove too, but it's a pleasure to be able to cook and to have coffee when the electricity is out. I purchased a case of the propane, and will most likely get a couple more next week. I'm so glad to know you two, and your "babies" are Ok, it's so nice to know when our KZread friends are not in trouble, because some of us really do think of you when something like this happens. One of my sister lives in South Carolina, and you won't believe this, but her husband Phil, actually caught a flounder in their back yard!!! NO they are not on the beach, but miles away from it, and their back yard flooded. They had to have their entire house torn up last year because of the flooding, and they were really worried that it would flood again. Supposed to find out if it flooded today when they promised to log in and let us know how they are doing. So happy your doing well. Bless, Sheila PS If you post it, I will purchase another one, I need 2, way to many here, for just one stove. PSS These are the propane cans too. "12 Butane Fuel GasOne Canisters for Portable Camping Stoves" You get the best deal when you buy both.

This little gas stove sounds like something that would work well when the electricity goes out during storms.

Miss Phyllis, please get a coleman camp stove and a Melitta drip coffee maker next time you are in Walmart. I would die by 5:30 in the morning if I did not have my joe. If I wake up and have no electricity I rush into the garage and get the stove out and put it on the patio and fix a cuppa first thing. Mr Bucky and I need our coffee!! P.S. I fry out in my garage just like you!:)
