The thing that amazes me, is people who do not stock up for just NORMAL disasters... Having chem-lights, camp stove, battery operated fans, and emergency radios made Hurricane Irene passable. If not a lil' boring.
I wouldn't mind having some property up in the hills of SW Va, but in truth? The time, fuel, and struggle to get there would expend resources I can use for shoring up my home here.
