As I pointed out on the other thread, my neighbors and I did plenty of stocking up. 2 weeks' worth of food and water, buying lots of batteries, handcranked radios, sterno, filling prescriptions, first-aid kits, etc. And filling up the car tanks.

But there is only so much gasoline you can store up in a private house that could get heavily damaged in a storm before you start creating a new set of life-threatening dangers for yourself.

True, and at least you prepared best you could. Filling your car’s tank was a good start. Maybe heading to a war surplus store to get metal gas cans would survive some pretty heavy damage. From what I’ve been reading there are people who are mad at those that prepared and demand they help those that didn’t. Family comes first.
