Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Thanks for this reminder. How did you cook? Propane? How do you keep the water without it getting contaminated? Thanks, Sandra Lance, D.C. Did you ever see that e-mail from that woman in a hurricaen about 20 years ago where they took the bodies out quickly. WHen some official came around she had no medical attention for days .He said " Do me a favor lady, put you identification in your pocket so I can identify you easily in a few days. Also got a e-mail about the problems they are stil in in florida after 4 hurricanes in 5 weeks. i remember the weather man in atlanta saying he'd never seen anything like it but i don't believe they can control the weather for population control, do you?

One that stands a chance at reducing terrorism to a " nuisance " !!! Living in earthquake territory most of my life and up here (Lake Tahoe) for 35 years, I'm used to disasters. Don't much care for them. Kind of like snow. Yup, I'm used to it...but I still don't like it. Early February of about 85 (bad winter!), it had snowed and snowed and snowed. Then it started to rain. Some idiot down in Carson City was doing something with one of those big pieces of equipment and cut the natural gas line into the basin. At the same time something happened in Idaho, or somewhere...and suddenly we had only one trunk line of electricity! Mid-winter...no gas, no lights. Ever try to take a cold (I mean really cold) shower and get out of it into an icy bathroom? Natural gas was restored in 'just' 3 weeks. And that's just one story of life in Lake Tahoe. I would ask each and every member of this group...HOW PREPARED ARE YOU FOR DISASTER??? Do you have a way to cook if your utilities are cut off?? Cooking in a pretty fireplace takes a little more effort than does toasting marshmallows. Do you have enough non-perishable food in the house/garage?? Do you have enough water stored????? Blankets? Batteries? Water? Water? Water? The water supply could easily become contaminated. Utilities could resonably become rationed. And remember FEMA has no regulators. Answers only to itself. The military is there to maintain order...not to help individuals. Sound harsh? Give it some thought, and then some preparation. califpacific <califpacific wrote: p Thu, 14 Oct 2004 18:55: Must read: The Power of Nightmares <http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,12780,1327904,00.html> The making of the terror myth http://pets.care2.com/ " The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
