Oh, and on topic. I have a suppy of food that is "Hurricane" supplies. It gets rotated with the rest. It is mostly pasta and canned food. The intention is to survive long enough for most of the regular people to die. I also keep a year's supply of Vitamins on hand, just in case. I may increase that supply.

I may need to get serious and turn Mormon and setup and turn 1 year worth of food.

1500 calories per person per day = 2/3rds of a pound per day

for 1 year = 250 lbs of pasta per person.

Elbows are around $0.33/lb ---> $75 per person.

However, storing 250 lbs of pasta isn't easy.
