Richard, thanks for this thread. Although in my 53 years living here, there have been no major earthquakes, no hurricanes, no tornadoes.....no horrific disasters whatsoever, but that doesn't mean that it won't happen.
No, I'm not prepared at all. I'm on the 14th floor of a highrise apartment....if there was a major earthquake and I was home, I'm sure that me and my furbabies would all meet our maker at the same time.
That being said, I do vow to become more prepared by taking your advice (Wow, when was the last time I said that??
) and start preparing an emergency kit.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
