    @@J-nf71 I didn’t lose anything but my aunt did. She works for a church on extremely low income so she never got homeowners insurance. I tried to tell her to get it but she refused because she doesn’t make enough.

    Use your commend sense no expert can say how foods will effect each person, fridge & refrigerators aren't made the same these days & food doesn't last the same anymore

    Idk..... It's just me so between June and September (hurricane season) I try to keep my freezer as low as possible. Maybe a week's worth of meat. I fill the remaining space with bags of ice. I see people filling it to the rafters with Costco meat hauls in the middle of hurricane season..... No ma'am

    Hurricane season ends November 30. June 1-November 30. Literally half the year.
