Even though you are not here physically,

as your love is with me!

Hurricane Humberto is currently slowly poking along through
We think we are so smart that our science and advanced minds know more than nature. WOW are we stupid or what?!? No, we know a lot about a few things but when it come to nature’s furry we really don’t have but a tea cup of knowledge compared to the complexities and strength of a hurricane.
Yes we need to always be expanding our knowledge but we also need to be prepared when our lack of knowledge and nature’s evens come together.
Let us keep these couples and all affected by this sudden and frankly unpredicted disaster in our thoughts and prayers. Being faced with neck high flooding at any age is difficult. Facing that sort of situation at the later years of ones life is much harder physically and perhaps emotionally as well.
Humberto is gifting us with a major gift. Yes it is a major gift even though so many are facing floods and mud everywhere. What is the gift you ask? The gift is that it again reminds ALL of us to be prepared for any sort of disasters.
My question to you is: How prepared are you for a disaster? What if that was your home going under in hurricane flooding or tornado whirlwind - do you know what you would do? Do you have what it takes to be prepared? Are you ready for a disaster? Where is YOUR disaster plan? Do you even HAVE a disaster plan? If not then GET ONE!
In most individual’s lifetime, they will have to face some sort of a disaster. It may be a minor disaster or a killer one. Still, no matter the size or circumstance, disasters bring chaos. Are you prepared for an interruption in life resulting in some form of chaos?
Disasters are the great disrupters in life.
This is a wake up call folks. Get Prepared NOW. When a disaster occurs, it is way too late to start preparing! Now not later is what is necessary.
COMMENTS WELCOMED!
Are you or have you been a disaster? Do you know someone who is or has been in the past?
Please share your thoughts and stories here on this blog.
All I ask is that everyone be respectful and sensitive of each other and that identifying information about a person who is not the author be limited to protect their privacy.
TOMORROW’S BLOG: The Hurricanes! The Hurricanes!
Please let me know what your thoughts or experiences are with hurricanes including the current Hurricane Humberto ( that is if you have electricity to run your computer—remember be prepared at all times!)
Peace and blessings

Good advice. I"m not in Hurricane Country - we're in Earthquake country. But it's still a similar concern. If an earthquake the size of the 1906 earthquake hit here in the bay area, 90,000 people would be killed just in Alameda County. So I just don't think the government is going to be there quickly. Anyway, I've started using a new website called AxcessPoints. It lets me get prepared and store all my info securely. I really like the newsletters. And since I signed up this month, I got a free gift. Just a thought - check it out. I know there are other sources like FEMA or Ready.gov.. but I'm a little suspicious of the government. Sorry - just me.
Hi Julie!
Thanks so much for the post and information. I’ll check out AxcessPoints in a few minutes.
You are so right about being prepared. It is vital that we ALL no matter if we live in the hurricane area or earthquake, blizzard or other disaster areas be prepared. Besides the food and water supplies which are vital to survival and recovery in a disaster, it is of MAJOR importance to have a Disaster Plan.
A Disaster Plan can speed up recovery and help to reduce the emotional stress that occurs in an emergency no matter what the situation is.
Best to ya!
