One preps for emergencies, such as a hurricane here in Texas. We know the closer one is to the coast, the more likely hood the house could be completely destroyed or swept out to sea, or destroyed by fire from natural gas lines being ruptured. People that close to the water, know to leave and there are mandatory evacuations in those areas. Some people refuse to go, and they are more than likely, killed. After Ike, some people were never found as their bodies were taken out to sea.
Our state and the Red Cross and FEMA house those who lose everything. If they had insurance, they will recover faster and their insurance usually pays for them to stay in a hotel until their house is repaired or replaced.
Water won't get me, but a tornado spawned by a hurricane, could. I am aware my house could be destroyed by a tornado or trees falling in my house, which is the more likely to happen. I still prep. and have a safe room in my house to hunker if a tornado is in the area. If the house falls down and that safe room is still there, I am still there with preps with me in the safe room.
All we can do is prep and protect ourselves. I also have a 3 day supply backpack in my car. To not prep because the house MIGHT be destroyed, is foolish.
Some people simply cannot prep for two to three weeks of total living off the grid.
And what does the city do to prep for flooded subways and infrastructure.
Like I said, I have no use for whining by those who did not prep or take it seriously, but people are suffering and dying through no fault of their own, even of those who did prep.
What needs to stop is the blanket condemnation of everyone in the areas of devastation who are dealing with something beyond their worst nightmare.
I’m sick of the callous attitude towards those who didn’t prep the way others think they should have.
The god complex is disgustng.
