Did you see the footage of the three guys tackling the little old lady who showed them her gun this mornin in NO? Then they forcibly removed her from her home and took her to the convention center where she was released and able to go back home.
They just don't want to leave because they know everything they have will be stolen as soon as their backs are turned. They made it through the storm, they're damned if they're going to leave now just because some jack-booted thug says they have to "for their own good".
Somebody needs to lock that Noggin character up, "for his own good". Dude has delusions of grandeur.
We live with the constant threat of the Big One here in Washington state. There will be no 5-days worth of warnings. You have to have some type of survival kit already in your home, ready. You should never allow your food stocks to get too low, as we always buy at least one extra week ahead on lots of stuff. I have a portable generator and keep at least 15 gallons of gas on hand at all times. You should always be prepared for things to go wrong in THIS world. It is to "iffy" of a world now. So, you have to be prepared. Regardless of the time of year, weather, etc., we are as prepared as we can be. If we are at or near home when it does come, we can get there and have access to our supplies. If too far from home, then we will simply have to do what we can until we can get there. But, I keep in the back of my vehicle one of those plastic containers with items in it for when we are on the road, in the case of accidents, natural events, etc. You just never know. IT IS UP TO YOU TO BE PREPARED. DO NOT RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT, ANY GOVERNMENT TO TAKE CARE OF YOU, YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR IT YOURSELF AND BE READY.
For ALL you out there, think about that. Think hard. In today's world, with today's events, are you prepared for the mess of a terrorist strike, small nuke event, weather related event, earthquake event, etc. Do what you can NOW. If you don't, when the time comes, YOU and YOUR FAMILY will be the ones to suffer. Then you will say to yourself, "why didn't I prepare?" Too late then folks. DO IT NOW!
