So I watched some of the news coverage from Sandy and people were out digging in dumpster looking for food and water after just 3 days. That would not have been me. Being on a limited income I only shop once a month. I also try to only shop sales and stock up when an item is on sale. So just by living my normal life I always have about 30 days of food in the house. My most likely event would be a Tornado or tropical storm I think. When the news said either Rita or Katrina could be a tropical storm in San Antonio I prepared the best I could. I do not understand why some don't prepare. I know some of the forum members experienced Sandy and I wanted to see how you fared and how you survived. I recently decided to on purpose put up some extra food and water. Not a whole lot mind you just another month or 2 because if anything happened it would probably be a short term event but I would want to be able to help other out without putting my family at risk. Do those of you that live in more high risk areas have enough food and water on hand to go say 30 days without going to a store? Do you think you need to ?
