Those are sad images. I wonder, will those who have not prepared to take care of themselves blame the Obama as Bush was blamed after Katrina?

Kinda feel sad for the food left behind. Like the last person picked for a team.

Not just the milk which, when considered, has limited value. But the tomatillos and bay leaves too. There's some water! Wait.. ew, look at that. No wonder it's still here. Chicken broth, turkey gravy mix.

I'm getting all misty, Mr. G.

I learned where my shortfall was
it was a learning and is an on-going experience.

Prepping
Honestly, it is a life style change that I found difficult to change old habits ; my kids think I am some type of quack , or worse “Rambo “

My son is doing some “vollie” fire rescue/ cold water rescue on Long island , and they’re going to be accompanied by police as there is some looting going on .
Imagine trying to assist in a rescue , and someone shooting at you thinking you are a “ looter “ ?

They have been told that electric will be resumed in 7 - 10 days .

I wonder if this is really true. A week after hurricane Ike in Houston there was still canned goods on the shelves. No milk, fresh meat or produce and the store had no electricity. You had to take your flashlight if you wanted something from the back of the store. It was weird.

The only thing I like about the no-smoking agenda is that there were plenty of ciggies left on the shelves.

Got 5 cartons before it hit. Gotta run now, I have some big time smoking to do.

Does anyone relying on a gasoline-powered generator feel guilty? Gee, I hope not! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right?

Nice not to have to jostle in the stores with those engaged in "anxiety prepping".
These are good trial runs for us to get a better look at where we can improve on what we have.
* More empty gas cans
* Syphon pump (so I don't get a mouthfull of gasoline)
* More candles
* More stored lumber to affect emergency house repairs
Not that I needed any of that, but nice to see the best way to spend ever more-precious (and dwindling) monetary assets.

Being from the hurricane prone Gulf coast, we stay up on storm prep stuff at all times so not to have to deal with the rush of last minute people when the news says “hurricane coming” I just gas up our vehicles and gas cans for the generators. We can eat from our stocks for a couple of months, same for TP and toothpaste, clean water and such. As far as prepping for SHTF, long term survival after EMP, nuke attack or such, we are as screwed as most Americans. Though we garden, we could never live off the land at our ages and physical conditions. Just not having our meds would do us in in a short time.

I don’t have a problem with households having a few days worth of food and water on hand...particularly in anticipation of a big storm,for example.Same goes for a generator.It’s the 50,000 rounds of ammo,the nuclear-blast-proof basements and the weekly night-long drills that reveal some of them to be absolute whackjobs.

With all the notice they had, why the heck were there so many floating cars in NYC? Oh, right, it’s a way to get the insurance company to buy you a new car.

All the supplies in the world don’t mean a thing if your home has been destroyed and you’re walking or trying to drive around in waist deep flood water..... I wonder how many of the people who stocked up eventually had to evacuate out of the area?

Well, gee, Geron, I guess the storm wasn't just hype from the weather forecasters as you said it was. Maybe some people believed you and didn't prepare.

There are millions hurting right now and many lost everything they had, including their houses totally burned to the ground or totally destroyed by water. Millions are without power, but eventually that will come back. I hope they all had preps to get through this.

My daughter works at a meat store in Western Ma. She told of all these people running in to stock up on meat. She came home asking what the hell these folks were planning to do when the power goes off?

Idiots grasping at straws.

There was no anxiety at our house.
