I must repeat this. Several things happened during this fire that was very traumatic for me, but one BIG one was,
I could not return to my home if I left. So, my advice is,
don’t count on leaving to get supplies when shtf because you may not be able to return to your home.
The one thing worse than a complete failure of government is a partial failure of government, where society no longer delivers services but big government interferes with you solving the resulting problems.
