1.5 million households and businesses in the DC metro region are without power today - another 100-degree heat index day. For a couple of my friends in northern Virginia, no power = no water (because they are on a well).
Preparedness is a vogue topic of discussion around here today.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-t...ry.html?hpid=z1Blessed not to have lost power, I've been loaning coolers and radios to less fortunate friends. And my Gransfors Bruks 31" American Felling Axe cleared a road at midnight.
Hard enough to persuade people to be prepared for seasonal storms and a few days without power. Good luck persuading others not already into preparedness into buying into a one-year TEOTWAWKI prepping plan.
Maybe start smaller with family and friends and use a Cat 5 hurricane scenario as something to plan for.
