Whew - I’m glad they warned about the carbon monoxide from charging my phone with my car! I could have overlooked that small problem.

Not sure if you're being facetious but sometimes in emergency situations people forget the oddest things.

After an unusually strong quake one time, I ran outside wearing just a long night shirt. It was only when I heard my Landlord laugh as he stood braced in his doorway and said "are you okay?" that I realized how wrong I was on two counts.

I ran back inside, slammed the door, threw on my jeans and grabbed my cat. Then I did something even more silly when I ran back outside, down the stairs, jumped into my car which was sitting in the carport beneath my building ... while the quake was still shaking.

It never hurts to hear emergency preparation recommendations several times.
