We're supposed to get slammed too. I have plenty of D batteries and a few 6 volt batteries. Flashlights and candles are fine for me; I always pass on the generators (and they are, of course, sold out everywhere).
Geoff is right about the frozen food. Stock up on that, which can be cooked on a gas grill. I'm getting ice ready too. I have a large cooler and a cambro that can stay cold for 5 days.
Like Lou, my concern is mostly on the rain. I escaped fine on the last storm, but my neighbor had $100,000 damage to his basement. I checked all the gutters and downpouts.
