Soooo...I am expected to depend upon the government to tell me how to survive?
My point isn’t that bad storms come and go. Of course they do. My point is that liberty means we can figure out for ourselves how to survive....the men and women of the 18th and 19th centuries had no infrastructure in a modern sense, and faced dangerous conditions.
They were able to get by without governors threatening them....we can, too.
Try reading up on the history of when large numbers of motorists were caught on highways in bad storms and get back to us.
No. Your government will tell you to stay off the road so you aren't a threat to the health and safety of your fellow citizens.

Great -- then let's start by taking away the infrastructure. Let's go out and dig up every mile of highway you use to travel these days, along with the electrical infrastructure and gas mains. Then we won't have to worry about governors threatening anyone ... because the governors won't have any way to get in touch with you anyway.
Maybe I'm the only one who finds it ironic -- and comical -- for someone to sit there and post messages on the internet about how we should all live like we did back when Little House on the Prairie was a life story instead of a TV show.
P.S. When the men and women of the 18th and 19th centuries ran into serious trouble, they had no qualms about calling on their government to help them out. You don't think Pa Ingalls and the other settlers in the Dakota Territory chased all the Indians off the Great Plains by themselves, did you?

This is a horrible analogy. There were no automobiles. There were not millions of people living in cold-weather cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, etc. There was zero way for government officials to communicate quickly with citizens.
