I am prepared.

I lived through the 1989 Loma Prieta where we had no power for four days, and more recently a propane train tanker accident that cause the evacuation of my town here.

We always keep food well stocked in the house, lots of canned goods and bottled water. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I also always keep the cars with at least half a tank of gas, and we have some gas stored in containers - We had a gas shortage in Phoenix one year and I am so not going to go without gas.

We also keep emergency packs in the garage in case we need to leave. Our hometown was under mandatory evacuation not too long ago because of a propane tanker train fire. We were just outside of the evacuation area, but all our friends in town were given twenty minutes to leave. So I learned a few lessons from that.
