In 2006 the Storms lasted for about 3 days, shutting off power to more than 20,000 people, and with the roads covered with ice made mobility almost impossible. Power was not fully restroed to some areas for 3 weeks (no $h!t more than 21 days). That being said it is not just huricanes that need to be accounted for when prepareing for disaster, you also have to consider tornadoes and other natural disaters. It all depends on what part of the region you are from.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592577215461575172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853168588959183138.post-32009467962536353582008-12-08T07:40:00.000-08:002008-12-08T07:40:00.000-08:00Bob where can I buy bulk grains and which ones sho...Bob where can I buy bulk grains and which ones should I buy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853168588959183138.post-39118781280706387572008-11-15T02:50:00.000-08:002008-11-15T02:50:00.000-08:00"3-4 day hurricane kit" applies if people live far..."3-4 day hurricane kit" applies if people live far inland. IMO, the minimum should be 2 weeks, and that's assuming you won't have to provide <I>anything</I> for neighbors.<BR/><BR/>If someone's not in an evac zone, there'll still be price-jacking, lines at grocery stores, and no power for cooking (unless they have gas).<BR/><BR/>I got power back after 9 days, but many places, even north of me, were without power for 3+ weeks.<BR/><BR/>The ice/water/food lines around my area only gave those things away for people with cars. What if your car was flooded? Then you'd have to find a place that provided for people without cars, and find a way to get there.<BR/><BR/>And my hurricane was Ike; sure he demolished lots of Galveston/Boliver and some other coastal areas, but many Houstonians on the NW side still sustained fairly strong, damaging winds, and were mad because there wasn't food lines on their side of town.<BR/><BR/>I went through the lines about 4 times because we finally needed ice (I built up thermal mass with lots of frozen water in the fridge/freezer), and the stores still had lines allowing just a few people in at a time. They threw food into the truck as I went through the lines, which since they gave out a box of MREs was fine with me -- I was tired of cooking on the campstove once the "cold front" was over lol<BR/><BR/>But I grew up prepping for hurricanes, many people are new to coastal areas, and don't prep enough. And prep for your pets too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
