If you told me there was going to be a hurricane and I would unable to leave my house, and we would have no power, we would be fine. We have enough water and power for the three of us for a week. We even have these "Everyready" laterns and tons of batteries to run them.

These people know it's gong to happen to them - why don't they prepare for it?
