True dat. I should have included state and local authorities in the list of agencies that need to get their feces in one pile and start working with each other, not against.

I don't consider myself to be a true prepper* but I've got quite a bit of food, water, fuel, etc stashed around the house.

I'm not laughing at the unprepared; I'm keeping a close eye on them in case they decide they want my stuff.

I go off of my experiences with storms, power outages, floods and such. My wifey lived in Wyoming for a while. There, you bought enough supplies to last you through the winter. Because you never knew when you was going to be snowed in for weeks. The next town over was 80 miles away.

Yeah. We get a lot of thunderstorms around here plus the occasional tornado.

I have been very pleased with my elec util the last 5 years or so. It's not that unusual to lose power during a very bad storm but it's usually restored within a few hours. The last extended outage was during/after a bad ice storm about eight(?) years ago. Sometimes they are able to reroute and the outage only lasts a few seconds. Back in The Good Old Days, it wasn't unusual to be out for 1-2 days, several times a year.
