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?

How do you think the empty shelves got that way?

I would save enough money and have it and some basic things set aside so if a hurricane headed my way I could grab my kit, get in the car and not stop driving for until I was well out of its path.

Most people have 9-5 jobs, so that really is not a feasible solution.
