I went way overboard in my preps for this. I have enough water and fuel(cooking and for 1 vehicle) to give us weeks without help. I'm thinking it will be more like Katrina than anybody in the government would evere want to admit...

Great post! And it doesn't have to be in California. If you think you are safe from earthquakes where you live, you might want to think again.

Good post.

Badawg - have you read the book "One Second After"? Kind of makes you want to do some more preparing.

Nope, but i read "A dangerous place to live" Which was about a big one on the Hayward fault in the East bay of SF. If it goes, salt water will most likely flood the Sacramento Delta, Tainting the largest single source of fresh water for southern California... Where I live. I drove through the Delta yesterday. It's an area that has been pumped dry and levied for farming. It's huge and below sea level or at sea level. A very scary thought...

"One Second After" follows a small town in the NC mountains for a year from the time an EMP takes out power across the country.

You bet. How are you storing the fuel for your vehicle?

in cans with stabil. And I swap every 6 months.

If you're rotating every six months, you don't need the stabalizer - might save you a couple of dollars.
