Yep I know all of those things but maybe you ought to realize that many of the people you are telling to do these things FIRST need to find their water heater and toilets, see many of those houses are gone.
When they evacuated did they remember to take their financial papers with them. You know the mortgage papers, insurance papers, tax papers, the kind of stuff that a guy would need to file insurance claims?
Or are you saying they never watched the evening news and weather station. That would interfere with SpongeBob Square or Trading Spouses wouldn’t it? So yeah, I can understand being surprised when the surge wave lifts the house off the foundation under those circumstances.
I have already discussed with my insurance agent what would happen if my home was totally destroyed. File the claim and within 24 hours I’ll have a check for $5000 to get me settled. Yeah, I am a prepper.
