Are you prepared for Hurricane Irene?

YouTube user mojopin12, who in another video says he lives right next to Lake Hopatcong, posted a video Thursday showing how he's readied himself for the storm barreling up the East Coast, threatening the borough.

While the video runs long at 13:18, mojopin makes plenty of strong points, from keeping plenty of water around in case the electricity runs out to even purchasing a portable toilet for when nature calls.

One quote says it all. While discussing water storage, mojopin12 says: "Will I have to use this much water? Probably not. But will I be prepared in case I do if this turns into a worse scenario? I'm going to be ready."
