"I know a gal who is actually doing this. It's become an obsession for her. She was already at the precipice of sanity, this stuff's gonna put her over."All things in moderation.
I confess, I did beef up my hurricane stores especially, gasoline.(Possible Iranian problems).

My father was in the AF as I was growing up and supplies were recommended. I live 13 mi. from the nearest store and don't just run to town for a loaf of bread, I make do. Between these 2 things and the fact that I can and freeze fresh veggies in the summer, I could go months w/o going to the store if I had to. I would hate doing without Cokes though.

So you can tape up the ducks and stop them from spreading the flu? Yep tape their little bills closed. One stray quack can cause doom.

Anyone living in an area where they might lose their power for an extended time already has supplies for just in case.
This is nothing more than a reminder that there might be school and business closures.

Iran with nukes or bird flu, its always something these days.
I think it wise to prepare for anything if you are able to, within reason.

"When congress was wringing their hands over Katrina, did you hear that idiot congressman ask Mike Brown why FEMA couldn't have been there in New Orleans to make sure everybody had at least 5 gallons of gas to get out of town?" I was in Mobile digging out from Katrina and missed that, lol.
You wouldn't believe all the 'survival/hurricane' gadgets I got for Christmas, I even got a hand-powered TV, shake-it flashlights and etc.

Incredible weapons and ammo not mentioned.
Bleach also was not mentioned. 7 days? If the crap hits the fan, you best have more than 7 days.
There would be widespread panic, and the phone numbers and stuff listed would be useless. Do you venture out? Will the places be manned?
If there was radio, TV and the Internet in 1918, I bet there would have been widespread panic and riots. The information highway has many great uses, but it also can spread fear and panic and riots that would not happen when info was not spread so quickly, as in 1918.

They must have had better Kimchee in Pusan back in '76.
I love the stuff, still like to get a jar or two if I can find Cathay Maid brand.
