I'm prepare somewhat but mostly for the aftermath of an event like this.
Water, food, ammo, weapons, gas, blankets, medical kits, generators, and a few other things from my military training.. ... reminder to buy bleach



How prepared are you if something like this did happen?

I've been living in a bubble for the past month.

I'm just hanging out waiting for the riots and looting. Looking forward to picking up a new home theater setup.

And blankets. Can't spoon with weapons and ammo without being covered up.

I'm prepared to die. Its much less work than preparing to live.

I'm not prepared for anything because it won't matter anyways.

I just drink a lot. The alcohol kills off any germs.

I am thoroughly prepared to laugh at those who freaked out when this fizzles out without nearly the catastrophe that some are imagining.
