Tonight's venue is small and only holds about 13,000 people.

We're adding to our pantry on each trip to the store. Used to have over a year of food, dropped down to less than a month. Want to get back to at least 90 days. Water is bigger challenge as we've typically got around 20 gallons on hand for four people.

Venue is too small for monster trucks but they have it there anyway.

Yes, lots of people keep extra food/water stored just in case. When we have snow here in the winter or Hurricanes in the summer, the grocery stores get cleaned out. So, many people just keep extra stuff on hand all the time here. Always wise.

And, of course, there are other possible emergencies.

As for me, I am not stocking up just yet. 14 cases in the US plus the 40 some odd cases from the cruise ship. No deaths in the US so far. The flu on the other hand has killed thousands and we have not had to close down work places, or large crowd venues, or schools (though some schools have had to close for a day because of so few students being at class due to the flu or the norovirus). The flu is surely a deadly disease and people are not panicking about it.

But I don’t see a problem with gradually increasing extra food purchases. Good for you.

I don’t understand the water thing, help me out here. I live in an area where storm prep is pretty normal and do know to run tubs and sinks full of water ahead of a hurricane to be able to flush toilets and bathe during the practically inevitable power outage, but other than losing power why stock up on bottled water? Is your tap water not potable?
