Reports that 2 to 3 feet of snow would hit the mid-Atlantic region created a panic buying atmosphere at Washington D.C. area supermarkets prior to last weekend’s blizzard. Shelves were picked clean of meat, fruit and other essentials. The thought of having to go a couple of days without going to the store caused some Washingtonians to go into a frenzy. So what would happen if a real crisis came, and once the supermarkets were out of food they could not get any more? How crazed would people get then? The Washington D.C. blizzard of 2010 has been dubbed the “snowpocalypse”, but honestly it wasn’t that bad. Sure it was inconvenient and thousands of people lost power, but it was not a major disaster by any stretch of the imagination.
But people got crazy anyway.
This just underscores the need to get really prepared in case a major natural disaster, a war, a deadly pandemic, an economic collapse or a major terror event does happen in your area.
Just think about Hurricane Katrina.
Would you want to be stuck with no food and water in the middle of something like that?
The reality is that most people live month to month and they could only last a couple of weeks (at most) on what is currently in their cupboards.
Do not let that be you. People get crazy when “normal life” gets suddenly altered. Let the pictures in this article be a lesson for all of us.
It is best to be prepared.
