Survivlists in Louisiana and Missippi?
I went back and read some samples of old
posts from this group. Sure seems to be
different now than it was a few years
back. I guess I'm one of the worse
offenders.
One thing I did pay attention to. All you
guys and some ladies were talking about
what to do, if this or that happened.
Well, it just happened. Aren't any of you
from Louisiana or Mississippi? How did you
prepare for this? How well did your plans
work out? What was differnt than you expected?
What would you do differently?
I'm surprised you aren't asking these questions,
or are you all from New Jerseay and California?
Or did all the survivalists from this group living
in Lousiana and Mississippi lose their internet
connections or died in the flood waters or
from shooting it out with bands of looters?
Just curious. If your're from those states and
got hit bad, maybe you'll have to read this and
reply from New Jersey or California.
You can bet if a disaster like this hit Northern
Virginia or Beverly Hills, there wouldn't be
thousand of bodies left laying out in the heat
for more than a week, all bloated up and swarming
with maggots. Then again, maybe there would be.
I live in California so have never experienced a hurricane (and
luckily so far not a bad earthquake). However, a friend of mine,
Martha, was living nears Brownsville, TX in the late 60's when a bad
hurricane was predicted (she was about 8 years old at the time and
didn't remember the name of it). Pre-hurricane her parents evacuated
to grandma's house about an hour north of where they lived. They had
lots of preps for the house full of people - lots of canned food,
stored water, etc. They had also filled the bath tub with water as
per advice from the government. Unfortunately, Martha's little sister
went into the bathroom, discovered the tub full of water and decided
to take a bath! Although they lost their power and water luckily they
didn't need the tub water. Unluckily, when they got back to their
home on the coast they found they had lost pretty much everything.
Seemed like a good time to migrate to California.
The lesson here is that if you fill the tub for emergency water make
sure you either monitor it or explain to the kids that it isn't bath
time.
