Something I’ve noticed about myself is I get an adrenaline rush when something catastrophic happens. I felt like bouncing off the walls on 9/11. I felt excited during the tsunami or in the aftermath of hurricane katrina. I’ve had daydreams of life during a nuclear war, somehow imagining life would be more meaningful in such a situation. Every time we have a thunder storm or major winds I sit at the window hoping it gets worse. I think if I ever saw a tornado in real life I’d drive towards it and am not sure when common sense would take over. What do you think about this adrenaline rush I seem to get in the face of destruction?
It is possible I’m a christian? hehe. No, actually I’m an atheist that doesn’t believe in the afterlife, although I can see how you’d get that impression.
Woah Kobain. There is a difference between enjoying conflict and not doing anything about suffering. I volunteer once a week at a homeless soup kitchen and raise 300 dollars for abused women and children every year.

I was just listening to Pat Robertson on You Tube. Terrorists do take advantage of political changes, 1993 (Clinton), 2001 (Bush), 2007 (New Congress?). Not a big leap to think of a terrorist attack in 2007. Kind of an anti-climax announcement.

But it did get me thinking, how many people actually prepare for a possible disaster by having a few days of food around, flash lights, medical supplies, that kind of thing. The normal Red Cross Be Prepared kind of thing.

All the "Oh my God the world is going to be destroyed by…" Nuclear war, global warming, terrorists, hurricanes, tornadoes, infestations of caterpillars, etc can leave this one alone.

I just want to know how many reasonably normal people have checked out ready.gov and have some emergency supplies around in case of a disaster.
Thanks. The ratio of real answers to silly answers tells me a lot too. Looks like if there was a major disaster any major urban center in the country things would end up a lot like they were in Louisiana. On the other hand, it kind of looks like people in rural or suburban areas might be better prepared. Kind of a common sense thing I would guess. some kind of ratio of storage space versus costs versus convince and availability, I would assume.

Thanks.

My husband is an overnight stocker for Walmart and all local emergency depts are telling our area to leave early, don’t wait for the mandatory evacuation. I thought that was common sense. Well, he called his job to tell them he was evacuating with his family and they thought he was absurd and sort of threatened him. I told him tomorrow he is telling them he’s GONE because his family’s safety is more important than keeping Walmart’s doors open. Can he get fired?
