#4: "They warned people to not try to go out in this because they didn’t have the resources or manpower to rescue everyone who was stranded."

Yes, there always is some fool who thinks "It won't happen to me!"

In Florida, when a hurricane is bearing down, you will see plenty of fools with surfboards rush to the beach "to catch the big one!" Sometimes they do "catch the big one"—and their last one.

I have a slightly different take on this.... A few days ago when all the Twitter ‘revelations’ started coming out, Jesse Kelly said “people are going to have to start to realize that every single thing that you’ve heard on the LSM is a lie.” That was a very true statement. Now one would think that when the topic on the media is about life and death situations, there would be some honesty that would prevail. However, the entire WuFlu episode over the past year proves that one can’t believe the life and death issues as well.

Bottom line is that one has to have the foresight to plan for these types of situations... not saying that every media report can’t be trusted but one can still plan as if they are not true and be ready.
