Now I figure those leeches can drink pollluted water like the rest of us! Living 2 miles from lower Manhattan, I worry less about storms and more about EMP pulses and those pesky dirty bombs. But the really sad part is that urban living does not allow one the room to store a month's worth of water and provisions in the precisely 2 kitchen cabinets that one possesses. Sigh.<br />Going to just go back to the oblivious, head-in-the-sand place where I was before I realized that the 3 tampons and 4 band-aids in my "go" bag probably aren't going to get my family very far. I will need Valium and several more tampons...shipstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193128981959888580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-44420148525197197832012-03-22T17:57:04.266-04:002012-03-22T17:57:04.266-04:00Good to see you found your emergency candle/dildo....Good to see you found your emergency candle/dildo.

Unheard of in the Eugene area, but being a native Michigander, I was pissed becasue it was cold, but not because it was snowy. It was a fun day! Being within walking distance of a few convenience stores and a major grocery store had me less than nervous. We took the dog for a snowy walk and picked up doughnuts.

You might wanna mozy over there for extra tips, although I suppose the apocalypse requires a different type of preparation than surviving a few days power outage from a storm.<br /><br />I think the bottom line is... extra food, extra water, extra fuel, backup lighting and backup radio.<br /><br />I can't help you with the pantry. Just go to the store and stock up.<br /><br />For extra water have empty containers around that you can fill up. Minimum... if you have a bathtub make sure you have something to stop the drain (those flat plastic disks to stop the tub are surprisingly hard to find in San Diego. I had to order them online). In an impending storm, scrub the tub and fill it up. And don't forget your hot water heater. It's just sitting there storing water for you so make sure that overflow valve is working so you can empty it directly from the water heater into those 5g Home Depot buckets.<br /><br />You should also have some empty gas cans around. Even if you don't store them full you can use them to store the gas you siphon from your neighbor's... not really... I'm kidding... really.<br /><br />For extra light I like to have plug in emergency lights scattered around my house. You can find them that act as nightlights and those that turn on only after a power outage. I like them because they are always charged since you store them plugged into a power outlet. Just don't forget to unplug them if your power goes out during the day (and you're home) and place them at the entrance to every room or you'll have lost hours of use having them on unnecessarily during the day.<br />https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YLK346/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=123lh45-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B002YLK346&adid=1KFHR9Q7V07M4JP5A8N1&<br /><br />As for a radio I like the emergency kind with multiple power sources (crank, solar panel, battery etc). This one even charges cell phones (oh, that's cool... the ones I have don't do that!).<br />https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MSZH02/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=123lh45-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B001MSZH02&adid=1FDT3Y02QVCV6M8BR0ZK&<br /><br />And remember... having enough TP for the duration is always a good thing :-)<br /><br />One last thing... if you loose an entire fridge full of food due to a power outage some home owner insurance policies have spoiled food reimbursement where you don't need to have met your deductible first. Of course if you've already had a claim or two in the previous year or two it might not be worth making this kind of claim because insurance company's hate multiple claims, so be careful about that. If you do make a claim itemize each and every thing in your fridge/freezer. It will almost always be more than if you just give a guestamate.Lilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636233439104882868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-35247992571101402132012-03-22T10:19:56.062-04:002012-03-22T10:19:56.062-04:00Uhmm.. I'm a little freaked out about all the...Uhmm.. I'm a little freaked out about all the possibilities of disaster, probably cos I listen to another nut that goes by the name of Gary Null (yes, please look him up if you wanna be freaked out by just about any topic).<br />So first TK, let me thank you for reminding me to rotate the water in at least one of three six gallon bottles I have sittin in different places in my apt. That water probably won't go past two weeks time in mid summer, but that may be enough time for the utilities to bring back power from a freak ice storm like we had here last year. In my mind this water is to be used to cook some dry split peas, rice, and something else I think I have stashed in one of those orange Home Depot 5 gallon buckets. But my ass hasn't gone out and gotten one of them camping stoves or the propane that would make those peas so much more eadible. Duh.<br />I also purchased a beat up ol 4x4. Uh, it needs fixin and it ain't gonna get me nowhere til I dump either some non-disaster era monay on it or get around to fixin it myself. Dam co-op association doesn't let us fix cars in our lots, tho. A-holes!!<br />Now, the getaway car is in case we get a massive magnetic pulse from a massive solar flare that knocks out crucial parts of the grid that nuclear plants depend on to power cooling pumps after their mandated two weeks worth of emergency diesel runs out and either or both Indian Point and Salem nuclear plants go meltdown and screw the whole East coast for a millenium. No, I haven't plotted the getaway route delicately balanced between the two plants' 50 mile radius yet. My hope is my brother in Virginia will take me in this, uhm, "possible" eventuality.<br />Frankly, lately, I've wondered if I WANT to survive any major calamity. The people in power would still stay in power cos they have the loot, the security goons, the well stocked fallout shelters, and the denial necessary to blame it all on us anyway.<br />oy.<br />gusgusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3325136241555317156.post-81241706733276827132012-03-22T10:16:16.793-04:002012-03-22T10:16:16.793-04:00LMAO!!

I don't think they allow iPhones. <br /><br />I keep a few days' worth of canned goods (AND a manual can opener, don't forget that!) on hand, and two gallons of water. I don't have a pantry right now, though, just cabinets - when we move in a few weeks I will have a walk in pantry (swoon!) and a back up fridge, and you bet your FSE that I will be stocking that thing. <br /><br />I have also informed my husband that I want a gun. It would come in handy for shooting other looters if needed.

My husband was inexplicably out and about which frankly, pissed me off since he was the one talking about 1.5 inch hail. Ass.<br /><br />Anyway, if the shit hit the fan at our house we'd have to gorge ourselves on wild game. My husband hunts and we have a freezer packed full of deer meat. Of course we'd have to do that before his phone died and I had to kill him.OnePhoenixnoreply@blogger.com
