There's a winter storm a brewing for us folks that border the corners of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky - thems talk of 6 inches of snow and ice but should not be as bad as last years "Ice storm of 2009" which is almost to the anniversary date.
Last year I was without power for about two weeks but have a wood stove that I cooked all my meals on and heated the house with, I also have a small generator that kept my refrigerator and coffee pot running, it also ran my computer and a few lights too. Last week I got the generator primed and ready for action and split a bunch of wood for fuel. The town folk never really think about that stuff being in a bubble of false security and high taxes.
Out here in the country you could hear generators running in all directions as most that live in the boonies are always ready for anything. My biggest fear was not being without necessities as I have supplies to last several months but as Wifezilla succinctly pointed out in her infamous zombie post was "mob-rule" from the scared and ill prepared.
Being human with the ability to reason sets us apart from other animals and with that comes compassion, but at what point do you call all bets off and protect you and yours with a murderous fervor? By the way do you think pit-bulls would fry up tasty?
