Joe,
Good Luck! In the '70s, I was stationed at Ft.Lee [Petersburg- 5 mi from Colonial Heights] when hurricane Agnes hit the area. The Richmond water supply/purification system got flooded out. My Army unit was assigned to provide potable water for Richmond, for two weeks, hauling water 50mi. in tanker trucks and dispensing it from portable fuel system supply bladders [new pumps, hose and bags]. I had the privilage of being the advance party OIC. The James River ran wild. Trees were down all over the place.
In a word..... Stock up with water, food, & batteries. Get a generator if you can. When the wind blows, stay away from windows - even if they are properly shuttered. Be sure you don't go into low-lying areas where there could be flash flooding.
Take care.... we care...
