I remember that collapse. It was horrifying to see. I can't imagine being close to it.

It was one if those times where you realize how close to death we always are. Looking back I wonder what God was trying to tell me. Probably something more profound than "Never dwell too long at Abercrombie & Fitch."

Do you have an emergency life hammer or auto punch for the windows in your car? I've read the car doors won't open in the water due to the pressure so you have to be ready to break a window. I used to have the life hammer which has a cutting mechanism for seat belts on the opposite end. There are auto punches that fit on your keychain or could be taped somewhere within reach of the driver's seat.

I do not have one (or many survival items at all, really) but that makes sense. I think I've watched a movie where someone was unable to kick out a car window.

I remember getting an email about a fellow that died there. This was at a time I was still involved in and a leader with the CP. Guy died was a counter part there in CP.....

Prepping is essential and crucial, so too knowing it could end at any moment regardless. Supplies, guns and rosaries....

and last, but not least (this is the most interesting regarding this thread!)

Endurance Wear Fashions .... http://www.cpcompany.com/#/collezione/

(select "CATALOGUE")

That's a clickable link, and if you want a neat slideshow of ideas for being
fashion-conscious in an emergency evacuation, this is great -- I have known
people who may have been worried about "looking good" in an emergency!

Can you imagine?
Earthquake!! -- Oh, no! I haven't a thing to wear!
Tsunami!! -- What am I going to do - my parka is at the cleaners!
Tornado!! -- But my C.P. Company windbreaker hasn't arrived by FedEx!
Chastisement!! -- I can't go to Confession and stand in line without my fleece jacket on!

Neil, you either have a fabulous sense of humor, or a little Bailey's in your coffee, lol. I still don't think the CP that Belloc spoke of has been defined.

Interesting fashion items. I struggle with vanity when it comes to attire. I can't say I wouldn't worry at least a little bit about cuteness/appearance even during a natural disaster. I have a fear of frumpy, even though frumpy is probably more saintly.
