Storm evacuation tip

I saw this on Facebook shared by a friend that lives in
Florida:
Sheila - Lumberton, NC
For those of you that are evacuating from the coast, I just heard a
great tip. It's called the one cup tip. You put a cup of water in
your freezer. Freeze it solid and then put a quarter on top of it
and leave it in your freezer. That way when you come back after
you've been evacuated you can tell if your food went completely bad
and just refroze or if it stayed Frozen while you were gone. If the
quarter has fallen to the bottom of the cup that means all the food
defrosted and you should throw it out. But if the quarter is either
on the top or in the middle of the cup then your food may still be
ok. It would also be a great idea to leave this in your freezer all
the time and if you loose power for any reason you will have this
tip to fall back on.
