Don't live near 'quakes, but we do get Hurricanes here in Fla.

I have 13,000 gallons of non-potable water for washing, flushing, etc. (pool) 100 gallons of drinking water (rotated thru during the year) and plenty of non-perishable grocerys. Got a 6kw generator, and 2 1200 watt inverters I can run off a car or my lawn mower. When the weather announcement comes, theres usually 4 or 5 days to go and get an extra 50 gal of gas for the gen and cars. And to keep it all mine, I've got that FAL I just got, as well as other "toys". Should it really come to it, there is a 300 acre pine farm across the road from me that has plenty of deer, turkeys, rabbits, and squirrels, as well as near by farms with veggie crops.

2 years ago, without the generator, we did ok with no power, etc. for two 1 week sessions, with a 3 year old and a newborn. Now that the kids are older, and I have the generator, we should be fine.
