The wife and I took some of our valuables, money, jewelry and weapons / ammo we had upstairs to the basement just in case of heavily home damage from the winds. Things like food, water, batteries, candles additional blankets, clothing was already in the basement storage area.

Do you watch the news? Every time an area is destroyed (ex: Joplin, Missouri) it receives national news, the Red Cross shows up, the town bands together and rebuilds and helps everyone. Before you point out New Orleans (Katrina) or New York (Sandy), those are areas much different than Ohio and those disasters are unique to the coast. And usually entail time to prepare.

Hey! what your address so thos looper can take what you left behind. That is a perfect plan.

Also, initially you were talking about heavily damaged (not completely gone) yet you link articles where the neighborhoods were destroyed.

I'd love to be your neighbor. My house would be damaged/gone and my family possibly hurt, but you're sitting there with a shotgun protecting your cans of beans. What a fucking weird old man you are.
