If you don’t prepare for emergency situations then it is on you. Everybody should have atleast a dozen cases of water and non-perishables tucked away somewhere.
You have the ability to make these situations much easier on yourself. You have options at your disposal that people generates before us did not have. If you don’t take advantage of these options, it is ON YOU. And nobody wants to hear your whining when you fail to prepare.
go eat some cardboard MRE’s you dolt.....people are suffering and all you can do is talk like such a big man....

We have nine kids at home and a herd of sheep and goats, as well as a passel of chickens. I don’t think bottled water would work for us.
We have a propane generator to pump the water, but it’s only good until the propane runs out. If the roads are closed or washed out, and fuel is scarce, as it is after 3 or 4 days without power, then we have to start hauling water from the creek and boiling it.
In the winter, that’s double hard because of the snow and ice.
We did catch a lot of rain water by funneling our downspouts into trash cans, so we could’ve used that if we needed it, but our power has been restored. I’m thinking of making that solution more permanent with a cement block cistern and a hand pump.
However, there are still almost 60,000 households without power in little New Hampshire. I hear it’s worse in Vermont and Maine.
Roads have been washed out, homes destroyed, bridges closed, and a lot of folks are isolated by the flooding.
But, as you say, we should be prepared, so it’s our own fault, so we shouldn’t expect any concern or prayers from you.
