Word to the wise: preppping aint just for crazy people who see black helicopters. Several members of my family in the NY metro area are without power and will be so for another 4-7 days. They also have to wait hours in line for either gas or to buy food. Also, most places cannot process credit cards (no atms work either). So, cash is king. My dad and uncle have generators. They’re among the few in the area who still have power.
A couple days out and they're out of food. Such things boogles the mind. I read about one guy hollering at FEMA or whatever agency on day two (TWO!!!) about getting food to the starving hoards. Do people not have a can of soup in the cabinet? No Ramen noodles and a lit scented candle? Not even a box of crackers? Did they not expect trick or treaters so they don't even have a few bags of Halloween candy? They obviously don't live entirely off fast food or there wouldn't be groceries. So, what the heck do they buy at the grocery stores if they have zero food in their homes? Rover and Kitty must be getting nervous around the Donners.
