We, who are so dependent on and oblivious to the fragility of our man-made environments, are effortlessly brought to our knees by the forces of nature. The northeast is being schooled by the same teacher who has been educating those who can/will learn from previous lessons along the Gulf & southern Atlantic coasts.
I am struck by those crying in despair in the NY/NJ streets because the be-all Government was not there immediately to help them with the basics such as food and water. People are outraged because folks evacuated ‘without socks’ - where the hell are the socks? they are screaming/crying to the media cameras. The coming economic collapse is going to be horrible and people are going to be crying in the streets briefly, then turning into animals when basic instincts like hunger kick in (seeing some if this now - looting, etc.). The west coast is way overdue for a massive earthquake which will make Andrew, Katrina, Sandy look like a walk in the park. Only the Self-Reliant will survive ... and unfortunately, those hearts will have to be hardened to those who have not done what they need to do to take care of themselves or all will perish. Between the pictures of what is happening with Sandy & the re-election of Obama, this is hitting home big time with me right now ... BIG time ... eyes wide open.
Lord help me but this ant is having little success in dredging up much concern for the grasshoppers.

Just a glimpse at the tribulation to immediately follow the rapture of all Christians from this planet.
We won’t be here to provide for their needs - and they won’t be able to find us anywhere to “retaliate”.
Thank you for your thoughts. I couldn’t agree more. My eyes were open before, but after this election I know I have more work to do. Yes, eyes WIDE OPEN.
I pray that some in such a situation as you describe would remain available to the Lord to minister out of their supply as the Holy Spirit would direct.
I've been reconnecting with old friends via Facebook, and when things get too partisan, I'll switch the subject to earthquake prepping.
I’ve worked on disaster operations in many parts of the US. The reaction you see is not unique to NY & NJ. I have seen victims in all areas go through phases including anger at not receiving help as fast as they think they should get it.
They simply do not understand why it takes so long sometimes to get them the things they need or want. They are in a kind of shock that takes awhile to wear off.
Of course there are always some folks in every situation and state who complain for the sake of complaining just like there are folks in every area who just pick up the pieces and quetly do the best they can.
Way to nail it, MissMagnolia.
Be well.
Well said, MM.
