To answer some questions, yes, I drink from a "hose pipe" all of the time. I don't know why, but I have always heard that it was a BIG NO for a TT.
As far as sanitizing the tank, well, we have never used it, and I'm not sure about the previous owners. So I'd rather be safe than sorry. My thinking is to fill the tank up for drinking, and I will fill some old coolers up to flush the toilet just in case.
Some posted about leaving now... As mentioned, we are about 150 miles inland. As of now, we are supposed to get get some rain, but that it about it. We don't plan to leave, but we just want a plan B for if the power was to go out. (We have the battery's charged, the generator is full, and back up gas cans). It is not "expected" to even make landfall, but of course the outer bands will be over land.
