Urban Survival Secrets

Waiting it out

So I am listening to my radio and the local host flew down to Houston and is reporting in New Orleans at some hotel that has an emergency generator.  They are on the third floor in a room.  He is doing this instead of reporting on the Republican National Convention.

So, what is wrong with this?  They landed yesterday, stopped and got some supplies and hit the hotel.  They did not have a first aid kit, no bug out bag, just themselves and some supplies purchased at a super store.

First, going into a storm like this is stupid.  Yup, the news guys are stupid. Second, not having proper supplies is stupid – Yes, I said it.

A while ago the lights went out and they were smart enough to have a few glow sticks.  Good thinking.  I wonder if they were smart enough to buy duct tape and place tape X’s on the window to help prevent the window from shattering??

Enough bashing.  I am glad to hear that almost 2 million folks have headed to the high ground.  Lets all have a moment of silence at 5 p.m. for all of those out there and pray/medidtate for their safety.
