How about preparations for unnatural disasters?

The trouble with a natural disaster is you do not always have time to take advantage of your prepareness kit!! OK-I am at the grocery stores getting a few things I forgot, meanwhile there goes my house and car at home from a freak tornado. Damn, I didn't get to use the bottled water and two weeks worth of clothes, medicines, and vital papers I had packed in the front closet. In fact, I no longer have a front closet. Some things are just hard to prepare for.

My husband knows that if there is a disaster, I will go to police station behind our block and wait for him, if that is a feasible option.

I try to keep several cases of beer in the house at all times.

Plenty of duct tape and plastic sheeting. In case the terrorists decide to chemically attack my house.

I plan to wrap myself in cashmere sweaters. Nothing bad can get you when you're swaddled in cashmere.

Grab my gun, and loot canned goods and water from neighbors that do not have guns (and maybe the Johnson's 50" plasma as well).

I live in inland florida.

I have canned goods and bottled water, and don't live right next to a lake on a slight incline from the street. I also have running shoes for sink holes. Also have renters insurance

I have also found that liquor is better to keep around instead of beer, during an emergency.

When I lived in WNY, I had cold weather survival gear in my trunk. Getting stranded on a drive was a possibility.
