Are any of us prepared for a natural disaster? Earthquakes, tornadoes, firers...etc. What could we do to prepare for any of these events. Has anyone been through any disasters?

If you're in the woods and a bear is going to attack you.... stand as big as you can... Then they won't attack...

I'm ready... oh yes I am...

According to the Waltons tv show, you're supposed to repeatedly clap two noisy stones together to scare off the bear...

No, I am completely unprepared for a natural disaster. If it's my time, I'll have to accept it whether I like it or not, prepared or not......

I thought it was always use the buddy system when walking in bear country. make a plan to stand shoulder to sholder and fight the bear together, then when he finally attacks, thrwo your friend in front of the bear and run like hell

I've been through two hurricanes, but just a 2 and a 3. If a 4 ro 5 are coming, I get the heck out of Dodge! Not only was I prepared, but fed half of my neighbors....my overkill was greatly appreciated.

*note to self* do not go walking in bear country with Rob

Sounds like that old joke...

Guy #1: You can't outrun a bear!

Guy #2: No, but as I see it, I only have to outrun you.

LOL

Lived thru Wilma category 5, no one is ever prepared enough. The winds literally rolled the roof entirely off one of the buildings in the complex I was living in like opening a sardine can.

Saw another building crumble. There is no way to prepare for such fierce strength of nature.

* had the supplies, food, etc *

mean there is no realistic way to face nature's wrath, it's humbling to say the least.
