Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Disasters

[Trisha]

katie,

glad you made it through all the disasters in the Carolinas and recognize just what they are....DISASTERS!

building a house in Arkansas, middle of trees and such, so I build a concrete home with a steel roof. does that mean disaster won't strike? Ever hear of the Titanic?

Live in Illinois and 2 years ago we had a microblast hit the city about 5 in the morning. Any warning? Tornados and bad storms happen all the time, floods, snow storms, you name it.

Some had no power for up to two weeks, and thousands (really thousands) of trees down all over the city. How do you prepare?
You can some, but what is important IMHO is that you adapt. And you help others to adapt.

That, again IMHO, is what makes us great as Americans!
