Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

Quieter then a cannon when suppressed
When weather events (hurricanes) happened back when I lived in NC/GA/FL, the masses acted each and every time as if no such event had ever occurred before. Power would be out for several weeks, all the stores boarded up, FEMA had daily water/food handouts in the local Home Depot parking lots and at night the droning on of generators was enough to make the unaware put earplugs in. I say the unaware as night was when the looting often went into gear and thus earplugs might be a bad idea if you want to hear what's going on around you. It didn't matter if you lived in a $300K condo or a $4M waterfront home, darkness provided cover for those that wanted to benefit from a bad situation.
While milk/bread were the go-to panic items in GA, NC & FL folks didn't much care about anything but booze pre-storm and thus it was a state law that when the eye was within X number of miles (I think the "box" was 500 miles when I lived there), all ABC stores in NC had to close and no more alcohol was sold. In any event, no matter how routine storms are, be they hurricanes in the SE, snow storms where it snows, or other such things, the vast majority don't plan ahead.
When I first bought a home in Florida, a friend there told me to go buy 50 gallons of water. Granted, there hadn't been a hurricane in that county in over 100 years but he said to go buy 50 individual gallons of drinking water and just put it away (grabbing a few to go in a hurry is easier than putting a 50gl drum in the car). I had the space so I bought the water and put it away. Sure enough, first time in over 100 years we managed to be the bulls-eye for three CAT-3+ storms in a single year (2004). The drinking water was nice to have, I lived right on the water so we used sea water to flush the toilets with 5gl buckets.
Long story abbreviated: the lines at the FEMA stations at Home Depot were hundreds of people long every day for the most basic of needs - water.
We don't have hurricanes in CO but there are plenty of people that don't have the bare necessities should all services cease for several weeks. It's gotta suck to be them if something should happen.
-It's often cold here in Winter, do you have a means to stay warm if the power/gas lines are out?
-It's dry here, do you have adequate water if the well runs dry, civic water stops, Etc.?
-We have forest fires here, is your gas tank filled and can you get out of the woods in a hurry?
Just some random thoughts as I sit here dreading shoveling the sidewalks tomorrow morning
I'm glad they can accurately predict weather, and climate in the future based on CO2.
Wind has picked up and started snowing.
Farts are funny
Kathy Sabine wants 12 to 16"s can anyone stand up?
Wife got home and exclaimed "why the heck were there so many people at the store. They were buying cases of water, firewood and it was crazy."
Common sense has gone the way of the Dinosaurs. People believe what the IDIOT media tells them so they act like idiots, buying groceries, gas etc.
And there are alot of them here on this site. Peeps are just groomed by the media and government.
Grow some balls figure out what you need what it takes to live/exist then you will prosper.
