Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Today Katharine Shilcutt shared some excellent tips on preparing for hurricane season, which inspired commenter Captain Caveman to point out a crucial issue:
Don't forget charcoal and cigarettes. If your local c-store has no power after a storm, these may be hard to come by. And maybe even hit up your grass dealer for an extra bag a few days before the storm. He'll probably be so stoned he won't even know a Cat 5 is on the way. And get extra papers, too
Thanks for the reminder, Captain, although we're pretty sure the smokers among us will stock up on cigs, tobacco and otherwise, and then worry about things like water...
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
