People who say they aren't worried or it can't happen, know this:
During hurricane Rita that hit the Eastern US there was a 100 mile traffic jam outside of Houston that lasted over a week. Upwards of 2.5 million were involved.
When Katrina hit NO they had such a poorly constructed evacuation plan in place that the resulting traffic jam was mayhem.
Massive flooding in Austraila (queensland), Eastern and Central Canada (Saguenay River, Red River Valley in Manitoba), etc, in recent years left tens of thousands of survivors stranded and literally hooped without power for weeks and longer.
In fact google virtually any major hurricane, flood, tornado or earthquake, in recent years or older, and you'll find the same thing. Same with major nuclear reactor accidents.
Now sit there and tell me it can't happen where you live. Is buying an extra few cans of beans or a sack of rice and maybe a case of bottled water really too much for your busy schedules?
The casual dismissiveness some of you have on this is astounding.
