***A Katrina, an earthquake, a mid-west-sized flood can take down normal supply lines and utility lines for even weeks.****

We saw that a few years ago when a really bad ice storm knocked out the power for several days.

People went into a panic. One woman was so unprepared she had to put her batteries in her radio in the day and use them in a flashlight at night.

Others were so stranded in their homes the National Guard was called out for rescue.

We lost power but did well on lanterns and oil lamps. Warm and snug as a bug in a rug.

The National guard made it to a cabin back in the woods and found a 90 year old woman doing just fine They made her leave her home anyway.

Then there was the deep snow last year. We could not get out but still did well. There is an erie quite that settled on this area as no one was going anywhere.

If the old woman was fine where she was, why was she removed from her home?
