If you told me there was going to be a hurricane and I would unable to leave my house, and we would have no power, we would be fine. We have enough water and power for the three of us for a week. We even have these "Everyready" laterns and tons of batteries to run them.

These people know it's gong to happen to them - why don't they prepare for it?
To run the generator needed to handle that takes roughly 30 gallons of gasoline per day. Are you really suggesting you have 4+ 55 gallons barrels of gasoline stashed away at your home?
