Oh, I know that. Hell, if a natural disaster like that was headed towords my town, I'd be proper boned. But that's why I keep 20 gallons of pure water onhand, know how to tap into my waterheater for add. water, have a water purifier, keep a 1 month supply of non-perishable foods and MREs, have extra batteries, several first aid kits, and stuffs like that. The only thing I don't have (and is highlighted by the whole NO ordeal) is a gun, but that's cause my girlfriend would flip

And before people go OMGWTFLOLBBQ teh librocrat wants a gun! Hypocrite!!!1!1!, I'm not against gun ownership, just gun control, and I'm more than happy to follow even CA's gun ownership laws. I'd just get something like a Glock 22 or 35...
