So True

We're always told that if there is some sort of cataclysmic disaster -- in my case it would be an earthquake -- that you need to be able to take care of yourself for several days becuase it's going to take at least that long for any official help to get to you. You hear it over and over again, but I'm not quite sure it sinks in. It has now.

Time to restock my emergency supplies.

Earthquake preparedness info here and here.

Good point. Need to start giving some thought to this sort of thing myself, though happily my corner of North Carolina isn't threatened by too much other than the odd tornado.
