We had a major early blizzard here in the Black Hill of So. Dakota a couple of weeks ago. We were without power and communication for several days. (The worst was no internet, for me, anyway.) Once our very rural road to town was opened....thank God for our and our neighbors’ snowplows, I drove to Safeway hoping to find milk, eggs, bread and some fresh produce. Like Mother Hubbard’s cupboard, the shelves were nearly bare. No milk, no bread, very little produce, and meat.
Supply trucks weren’t able to make it in yet. If it weren’t for all the prepper supplies we had, we might have felt a few hunger pangs........not that that would have hurt us.
It was a learning experience for all of us.
It is a lesson that everyone is going to learn the hard way sooner than later
