WOW..I'm thinking I'm glad that I live in CT after this thread!
All I have to worry about is the occasional No-Easter or HURRICANE.
I always have bottled water & honest kitchen on hand & have a generator always filled with gas & several extra filled gas cans.
Had a power ottage last year that lasted for several days after a bad storm & the generator kept the full freezer & 2 refrigerators running along with the 2 sump pumps & a couple of lights.
The generator has been one of the best investments I could have made. I am thinking of doing a permananmt hook up to the power box in the future & then I only have to flip a switch & everything in the house is powered. We usually get power back within a few days, but I could go an extended period of time if I had to as long as I can get access to additional gas, which in most cases would be available even if you have to go out of the immediate area of the power ottage.
I can't imaging being in a situation where it could be months without power. WOW.
Anne,
It may be known as a no-easter in your part of the world, but in these parts it's known as a nor'easter. lol
I'd forgotten how important (scarce) water is out thar in wild west. Round here one pretty much just walks out the front door. Not much reason to store it for man or beast.
We had an ice storm a few years ago that put us out of power for about eighteen days or 3 weeks. What a pain! Keep the wood fire going, go out and dig food out of the snow, chop ice melt down to water, go to bed early. Oh well, nothing else to do.
Didn't have to go hunting for meat. Though another 3 weeks would have done it.

That’s funny. Was just thinking about what a year with No “Easter” might be like. No bunnies or easter eggs on the shelves, lots of wind and weather wiping out the whole holiday. Glad for the clarification. Gawd I’m blonde.

We don't have a vehicle, so it would be quite a hike to the Interior. But... you never know (member of a car co-op)!
Oh and Jenny, from my understanding, when the big one hits apparently a few of us upward and inward folks just may find ourselves with ocean front property. So no worries about the vehicle. Just make sure you have a sturdy life boat and a set of nail clippers packed away.
I can just see Skipper navigating the crew and his handsome first mate Jethro barking you to safety. Of course let’s hope it never gets to that kind of chaos.

Well Anne, if you saw the face palm I really did when I saw Randy’s clarification, you wouldn’t be feeling so bad.
Nothing wrong with a little “Wine”ing.
And does anyone know the meat to bone ratio we may be looking at with floaters? What you guys are stocking up in rations for the pups may last me a day or two. I like the “living off the land” idea Dennis.

We are feeding raw and I have been trying to figure out what I can stockpile for the dogs in the event of an earthquake (we are on a fault line). If the electricity is cut, the freezer goes down, that's going to be it for the frozen chicken. We are instructed to have at least 72 hours of supplies in place, but given the reality of the situation, I'm thinking at least a week's worth of provisions would not be out of line.
