I'm always prepared so I don't need to panic. A good sized portion of my family grew up in the same tiny town my great grandmother lived in.
She was born on new years eve 1900 and saw the worst the world has to offer. She was an invaluable well of knowledge and common sense. When she died I only wanted two things, her mission rockers and her pressure cookers.
Ditto.
And, being in a rural area that's in 'hurricane alley', we're usually sitting on 'ready' most of the time anyway.
What are mission rockers?
