We probably have enough canned food to last a 1/2 year - not because of planning for a disaster but because my wife hoards stuff. We have a 30x60 foot basement so full I can barely weave my way through it. Our weakness for a long term situation is that I have a 8KW gas generator and maybe 20 gallons of gas on hand. I should have bought a diesel portable but they don't have enough KW for my wife.

The other weakness is, as you guys suggest, from NYC. If the city had to evacuate we would be over-run with looters and worse - and the first place they would go is my house. I have a few guns but not enough to stave off the millions of people that would be roaming through the upstate suberbs. I think the entire northeast would be in trouble then.

AnnBrush, I believe the folks on this board understand very well people who have little income, and are exchanging ideas about how members of this board, who do have income, would cope with a potential disaster.

I think we are wasting our money fixing up anything below sea level in New Orleans. I also believe we should stop bailing out the people in Florida every time there is a hurricane. My Grandfather grew up on Cape Cod - he used to row out to the whaler clipper ships and sell magazines to the sailors. When we went to the Cape he would say "GD fools that build on the water - they don't have any idea what can happen". We can't be subsidizing stupidity with our hard earned tax dollars. And to recreate the whole situation so it can happen again next year?
