Yes, there is some undue alarmism to be found. But I still read this thread for the nuggets of useful information and the open speculation on what might happen. Both have helped me to better discern what I believe the actual threats might be to me & my family and what we should do to prepare for them. I do tend to skip over those posts that I think are hoaxes or unimportant. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've made all the preparations I can for the emergencies we're likely to encounter. There's not much more I can do than that.

No one here is actually cowering in a bomb shelter with recirculated air and a hand cranked generator worrying about what "THEY" might do to his "precious bodily fluids" are they? I do think that some of the survivalist talk can seem a bit extreme to those who have never lived in a region commonly affected by floods, tornados, hurricanes, etc. It might even seem extreme to someone who grew-up in Tornado Alley but has never lived on a military base overseas during the Cold War or eight miles from the Pentagon on 9/11. I have lived in all of the above and am of the opinion that it is better to consider all the possibilities during the calm before the storm so that you can be as mentally and physically prepared as possible for whatever is most likely to happen where you live.

Don't worry: Matt. 6:25-34, but do be a good steward of what has been entrusted to you: Matt. 25:14-30, Proverbs 31:10-31.

My opinion is that many of us don't trust the regular news media for providing us with up-to-date or non-biased information on this topic that we are seeking. We truly care about our country and our families and are intelligent enough to know there is information right in front of us that our Homeland Security isn't relaying nor paying attention to in many instances. I, for one, spend much time reading what the posts and comments of all of you who feel likewise. Thanks to all of you who are doing the research and posting. We are thankful for your diligent work.
