Well, one things for sure, here in NC, as I am sure you know, we get out and take care of ourselves and don't sit around and wait for somebody to come and tell us what to do.
And we certainly don't go on TV and whine about not getting food and water that afternoon!
I can't believe that in hurricane country, the public isn't told how to be prepared. I live in earthquake country, and you can bet it's pounded into us. You know the routine--batteries, radio, meds, insurance papers, WATER and FOOD--and told to be prepared to not expect help for at least 72 hours... I'm starting to get mad...
