Craig,these are notes from my experience in Northridge quake.drinking water rapidly replenished via bottled retailers.Flashlights impossible(I worked at HD,we were badly damaged,limited sales to one apiece).gas stations unable to pump(Cal drivers even uglier with no signals).No police(held two burglars with 97 winchester for 4hours,police never showed,put them to work)coleman stove was godsend for hotmeals.Antique Dietz lanterns still worked after being displayed for 40years(fresh kerosene).<br><br>
