^^ they say this about earthquakes here in NZ.....which isn't a comfortable thought...but usually never happens...but when it does...SHTF...and well its best to be at least a little bit prepared at all times, like stock pile a weeks' worth of clean drinking water and refill it with fresh once a month....(i do that, just in case) and have first aid kits at least half full with clean bandages easily find, also a bag of info papers to take away in case a flood or house smash up....all this to say a few forethought's goes a long way in preparation, do it small, quietly but it pays off handsomely in terms of all the hassles you can have rid in the first place....i guess most of us should be doing that, its just common sense and well guess people are too complacent or lazy, or just too afraid of being 'too silly' its not really...being ignorant of hassles is silly....
