By far, the stupidest post of yours I've ever read. Katrina, friend. The 2003 NE blackout. Solar storms do happen. Do you honestly think solar storms don't happen, because Art Bell talked about them? Is guilt by association something you regularly fall for? Anyway, the dangers are clear as day. Ignore them at your own peril. Thousands of blacks did in New Orleans, and they're dead. You think if they got prepared and stocked-up, they would have made it? Serious question? Oh right, the Government is supposed to save us. Except they didn't in NO. Whoops? Too late now. Get real, bud.
Why waste your time on individuals who are not capable of looking past the "it won't happen to me or it can't happen here" mindset? Failure to think the unthinkable has led to death and disasters repeatedly thoughout history.
Major grid failure and it's over. Bank account size won't save you. Bio/Chem attack, it's over. Some freak solar/magnetic storm, it's over. Something people are going to be surprised about if the shit were to really hit the fan. It's one thing to be physically prepared for such an event, food, tools and supplies, proper clothing, guns and ammo, etc., etc. It's quite another to be mentally prepared and my friend, most ain't even close, and the ones who REALLY think they are, aren't. When/if the killling starts on a wholesale scale there will be lot's a people curled up in the fetal position while sucking their thumbs. The fortunate will die early.

No, the water would have ruined all of that. The only way to survive water is get beyond it's ability to reach you. All they had to do was leave. Simple. A typhoon just killed a slew of Filipinos. They were urged to leave, they did not go. It happens.
planes do fly themselves, luke. Sorry if that bugs you. Hell, a lot of things bug you, they have been bugging you most of your 50+ years. What you say just does not matter to anyone in the real world, get used to it.
It's all so simple. Good thing freak disasters and crisis announce themselves long before their arrival.
1. There will not be any major grid failure in the US sans a world war. 2. Bio/Chem attack....prep is moot. The flu will still kill you if your basement is full of ammo. 3. Solar storm, America pulls together. Conservatives go to their bunkers and clutch their guns waiting for some imaginary horde. Genghis Khan really did a number on the European Id, wow. Still worried about foreign hordes to this very day.
