Survival kits

[samneil2000]

I'm too old to be in a girls locker room, but I guess if I was near one at that point and time, I'd go. My luck it'd be a false alarm and I'd be on my way to jail instead

Oh I am too... I'll be 33 next month. But I thought it was funny.

Back OT before I get beat up too bad, a former coworker had a tornado shelter put under his garage floor. The company comes in and saws a box shape out of your garage floor and then with a small backhoe digs a bunch of dirt out of the way. Then they drop in this steel box with a roll-top roof. It has stairs going in and a seat around the bottom. It is really pretty cool for a storm shelter. Not sure I would want to spend more than a few minutes in there, but... who knows.

I live in a small town of 6000 people on the north west coast of Oregon. We have reason to believe that we are in the cross hairs of a 9+ level earthquake, followed in 20 minutes, by a series of 50 foot Tsunamis. The entire west coast from Vancouver to northern California will be hit. The geography is the same as Sumatra.

I have worked for two years with a Tsunami Advisory Group for the City of Seaside. We promote everyone to have Go Bags in their home and cars. What Bart said about building a Go Bag around your own threat, is very true. Here are three that fit our needs. A larger suitcase on wheels, a 6x40” PVC sealed tube, and a small cloth bag or backpack. Exact product names and prices for some items are based on tests and tastes. EE and SOS are vendors.
