That Kansas link is great-- it reminds me that I need to get the documents thing together, because I would probably remember food, water, etc. in an emergency, but I wouldn't necessarily be thinking "paperwork".
Ike's looking pretty nasty--our thoughts are with everyone in Texas--stay safe!

I'm on 24/7 call right now for work because of Ike. All my ducks are in a row and I'm ready as I can be be. Thanks for your concern!

That was the best link for concise and relevant info I could find on the net - and there's a lot out there!
