DS and I were just doing what we do last summer when Earthquake out of Virginia hit and no way had we expected anything. No damage but for a few seconds we were like WTF?????? In a flash he found a report on FB of what had happened. DD was in Richmond, but on a bus when it hit and felt nothing (buses do their own shaking). But like any mom, I was so worried when the cell towers went blank and I couldn't reach her for hours. DS and I felt the aftershock too, she slept through it. I think she got mad we felt more of whole thing than her.

If the unimaginable happens, hope we go out in the first act and don't linger.

That is really what I was thinking, what you said. I wouldn't want to be one of those left behind. I do pray kicker that mankind is smarter than that. ginnie

Ginnie,
We have a pool full of 55000 gallons of water, squirrels, some freeze dried food, alcohol, woods, and some party records. Bet we make 2 weeks. BUT what 2 weeks!

I can't engage in a certain activity because of the laws in my state. So I don't. But a book I read, said if that lousy stuff ever happened, light the bud, and just sit right down. I read alot kicker, in fact I am a nerd that way. I read On the Beach by Nevil Shute written in the 50's and One Second After by William R. Forstchen, several others too. I would be a burden in my medical condition, so I would sit right down! That is why I really don't worry about anything except a hurricane. I sure will be booging out of town, as I am on a barrier Island. Anything else, I would not be running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I'd invite all my friends over to site right down with me! ginnie

Party at Ginnie's house!!!!

We are prepared for any "normal" emergency...blizzard, lengthy power outage, etc. If anything apocalyptic happens, we're more concerned about being prepared spiritually and emotionally than having enough potatoes.
