Like others have said, I'm
sort of prepared. I have a good amount of canned and pantry goods, can opener, plastic flatware, quite a lot of bottled water, cash, and usually close to a full tank in my car.
Even though I'm in an earthquake state, I think I've gotten kind of complacent about natural disasters out here.
I'm in the flatland in the middle of nowhere, no tall buildings around, have lived here most of my life, and the worst we get are desert 'floods' which aren't really that bad.
There are minor earthquakes here every day, but
if a big one were to hit and destroy the two highways heading in and out of town, we'd be in trouble as far as food deliveries to the grocery stores.
Once in a while the power goes out, but not for very long.
Definitely something to re-think every now and then, though. Good thread, Linda.
