is AFTER this storm, not just before the next one!

Also, public fountains can be a great source of non-potable water. Lousy for drinking, but also great for flushing the john.

Heating small things? Before the next storm, go to any camping supply store and get some Sterno and one of the small folding cooktops that fit the can. After Hugo, we cooked over the kerosene heater. It's slow, but it will heat a griddle or small saucepan.
