On the way out, let me thump the drum of your preparations for disaster or hard times. They’re coming. We’ve seen (again) what a weather event can do to unprepared areas and their inhabitants.

Maybe the don’t happen today, tomorrow or in the next year–but they will happen. Get ready now while it’s still easy to do.
