| How prepared is your place in case of a flood, fire, power outage, etc., etc. If any of these things happened, are you set up to cope, or would you be in trouble? | |

| I think we would be ok. I keep a lot of canned goods on hand and we always have at least one case of bottled water as extra. Mentally, I would be a train wreck. | |

I have a pump for water, a fire extinguisher for fire, candles and battery powered lamps for outages and I have bottled water and canned goods for food. I should be ok | |

| We go thru Hurricanes here and I've been thru several that knocked out the electric and blocked off roads with fallen trees.
Wilma in 2005 left two counties without electric for a few days and not everyone got electric for a couple of weeks or more. I didn't have electric for 3 days and did alright (got a gas stove & water heater). We stock up on water, but quite often the water is not affected by a storm and you can go back to tap shortly.
If it is a bad storm where we on the Beach have to evacuate I will likely go sit it out at work until it leaves then come back. | |
