Our power went out this morning, yeah me and like everyone else on the front range. I was supposed to have medical procedure, but the hospitals power went off too. Well the power stayed off, and we ended up going home. But while we were there she suggested we should get a home generator. So maybe this will be a good place to start. But keep the suggestions coming in, because I REALLY appreciate them.

Most of my family think I'm paranoid as it is. Then my wife and mother read One Second After. Ya, that did it.

Yep. Mine watched The Road and that was all it took. I haven't gotten her to read One Second After yet, but when she does, I'm sure she'll be locked in even tighter. I did get my parents to read One Second After though. I think that got my dad to start thinking a little as well.

We rented "The Road" last night, but her respose was "this movie is depressing. We should watch one of the other ones."

So maybe suggestions where preparedness makes a positive difference to a family? Heck, maybe with some romantic overtones.

You're just going to have to prep for her. Sounds like she isn't mentally prepared to even consider that as a possibility. Unfortunately, lots of people are like that.


My wife says to tell her that "The Road" was written by Danielle Steel.

God, I wish Danielle Steele would write one of these.

The Road movie is not the way initiate the prep idea. Totally slow,depressing movie. You may try the book if she likes reading. I did the book first followed by the movie and I understand why the movie was kind of a flop to the non-prepper. Also a lot of the natural disasters that we've had lately to me are a great wake up call to prepping. Good Luck
