I have to admit that this opened my eyes, too.

My wife puts up with the preparedness stuff, but I wish that she would understand the urgency of needing to implement a plan for these types of things. Having only a short time to grab your things would be a problem. What documents to take...what is "irreplaceable"...etc. (Any help in how to educate the wife would be appreciated.) I'm not sure that, today, I'd even be able to quickly evacuate due to these issues.

Great post. Eye opening.
