    I don't understand people who live in hurricane areas

    Every time there is a hurricane they always show stores with empty shelves.... Don't these people prepare for these kinds of events?

    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?

          Maybe the lettuce they stored last year spoiled and they needed some more.

              With a hurricane it's not an instant thing. One afternoon it doesn't just suddenly appear. Having some extra supplies on hand is always a good idea, but if a hurricane is coming, you have plenty of time to prepare. Personally, instead of having a full pantry, I would make sure to have a "get the fuck out" kit. 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.

                      You know the wild fire is coming so why don't you ever have enough water stored to put it out?

                          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?

                                  Okay, great point. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake I lived in Pleasanton, California, about sixty miles from Oakland and San Fancisco. We went three or four days with no power. I was aware of earthquakes and prepared for it. When the power went out the first thing we did was raided the fridge. We figured power would be out for a while so if we didn't eat what was in there right away it would just go bad. The first night we steaks we cooked on the BBQ. Over the next few days we had canned goods, and even back then we kept a lot of bottled water.

                                  A lot of my friends were worried because they didn't have much food on hand. Not me. I was ready.

                                      most of your population lives on a coastline somewhere. Almost every square inch is subject to severe weather.

                                      What magical "safeland" are you even referring to here?

                                      You live in an area that is susceptible to massive earthquakes, catastrophic forest fires and one major power outage from losing access to water. I think your safety bubble is entirely imaginary in your case...

                                          Richard, aren't you surrounded by the Sacramento River valley levee system? I hope your preparedness plans and supplies accounts for flooding, like hurricane level flooding, because thoae levees will fail.

                                              I have a "go kit". A few years ago here in my hometown we had a "propane train fire" where 2/3 of the town was evacuated. It was a mess - suddenly without warning people had to leave their houses. Since then I've had a "go kit" - mostly just a few bags with clothes, socks, etc.

                                              I just updated it too. My kid is leaving for college and will be in Southern California, about six hours drive time away. In the event of an emergency - such as my kid being in an accident or rushed to the hospital - I am ready to go at a moment's notice. I even have charging cords for my cell and my laptop ready.

                                                  Why would I need a generator? We can go without power for a few days.

                                                      I live in Northern California near Sacramento. We don't have earthquakes here.

                                                      Fires are a constant danger.

                                                              Well, there is only so much you can do... Short of buying a small boat, there isn't much we can do. I don't know anything about the Sacramento River valley levee system, but I believe it's far enough away so that it's not an issue for me.

                                                              With that said... We did have a problem last year with the Oroville Dam and they expected it to fail, and 180k people were evacuated. It was a mess. All of the freeways were bumper to bumper. We were about twenty miles outside of the evacuation zone.

                                                                                      But I won't be running to the store last minute to buy stuff.

Hurricane, earthquake, a dam you never heard of failing, a propane train fire... Eventually some day you might need to be required to shelter in place or evacuate. My household is prepared for both. These people who live in hurricane zones know it's coming - if not this year, then next year, or the year after that. My lord.... Make a list of what you might need and start stocking up.

Take a lesson from boater trash: that's really all you ever need as far as a bugout kit goes. A suture kit is nice, but as long as you're not bleeding out, isn't technically a requirement.

Take a lesson from boater trash: that's really all you ever need as far as a bugout kit goes. A suture kit is nice, but as long as you're not bleeding out, isn't technically a requirement.

                                                                                                                                                  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?

One afternoon it doesn't just suddenly appear. Having some extra supplies on hand is always a good idea, but if a hurricane is coming, you have plenty of time to prepare. Personally, instead of having a full pantry, I would make sure to have a "get the fuck out" kit. 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.

                                                                                                                                                      They are not prepared. Every time there is a hurricane the shelves are empty in the stores. There are lines to buy plywood at stores.

                                                                                                                                                      I grew up on top of a little mountain in NJ and every winter we knew we would be snowed in for a few days, usually with no power. Every time it snowed, my parents didn't run out and buy supplies. We spent our summers collecting wood and always had a huge stock pile. We had a pantry crammed with food. We could go a week without anything without worry.

                                                                                                                                                      When you live in a hurricane zone, shouldn't you at least store some plywood somewhere so that when the storm comes you don't have to rush out to the hardware store to buy plywood? Shouldn't you also store some food? Water? Flashlights and batteries? Isn't this just common sense.

                                                                                                                                                      If I couldn't leave my house for a week and had no power.... I would be fine.

                                                                                                                                                      Doesn't everyone plan ahead for such things?

My entire point here is don't people make plans ahead of time and stock up on basic things? If a earthquake hit without warning and your county loses power for the next six days, are you ready for that? I am.

Short of buying a small boat, there isn't much we can do. I don't know anything about the Sacramento River valley levee system, but I believe it's far enough away so that it's not an issue for me.

Nothing wrong with re-upping on a few things here and there. Think of it this way...you have an entire state of people re-upping on a couple items and it decimates the selves. How much plywood does home depot really have on tap at all times, batteries, gas cans, etc.

Don't these people prepare for these kinds of events?

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.

Nothing wrong with re-upping on a few things here and there. Think of it this way...you have an entire state of people re-upping on a couple items and it decimates the selves. How much plywood does home depot really have on tap at all times, batteries, gas cans, etc.

Combined with revealing his own preparedness is absolute nonsense- raid the fridge and have a bbq, we don't live in an earthquake zone/i'm not aware we live in a levee flood zone either but I'm fully prepared.

I wish harm on no one in the path but fact of the matter is everyone is pretty prepared and the entire east coast has been tracking this for about 7+ days now. Storm has also been decreased to a CAT 3 now.
