Nice to have a real-world reminder since our last reminder in 05 w/Katrina

Here they are getting angry and fighting already.

A)Imagine if this had gone on 2 weeks instead of 2 days. Or 2 months instead...

B)Imagine if it was *food* rather than gas they were having a hard time getting/finding. It'd be more than heated disagreements and a fistfight or two.

I really need to fork out the 100 bucks for a water filtration system!

What's funny is I was speaking to a cousin the other day, and learned he was quite the prepper, and had a plan of action and everything! He had gas stored up to make it to his parents, who lived on a good street, and he has a few assault rifles and tactical shotguns to share to defend his street, not to mention stored gas he says he rotates (I guess it helps that he and father own a few AMPM's too lol).

When the time comes there will be no such thing as a good street.
