And before anyone asks, no, there's no bag limit on them. 
And I'm sure that HTRN's working on something which will drop one in it's tracks. 
Now that the obligatory jokes are out of the way, let me remind y'all that this would be a good time to rotate the batteries in your flashlights and to stock up on candles. Remember, you don't have to be hit directly by the storm to loose power. Katrina flattened an area the size of the UK, and knocked out power to an area the size of the chunk of Europe west of Germany and north of Spain. If there's a storm coming and you're late getting to the store, and the candle section is sold out, check the ethnic food aisle for menorah and saints candles. You'd be amazed how often they get overlooked, especially the menorah candles, since they're just another box on the shelf with the jars of gefilte fish.
