1. Wow, after a hurricane is like where I live all year - it's dark out at night, and quiet.
2. Tis sad that you can depend on only your friends, family, and self. Up here, we can also rely on our communities to pull together.
Butt hurt much?
A good AR-15 cost less then $1,000, so I do not know where you get this $11,000 from.
Maybe your getting superior confused with safe?
When the county sheriff gets on the local radio station and tells people "do not call 911, because we can not help you", the only people you can depend on are your friends, family, and yourself. There is no "superiority" in being self-sufficient.
When you walk out of your house in the middle of he night, and there are no lights, no cars, no trucks, no nothing but silence and pitch black darkness, it gives you a sense of eeriness. There is no turning on the lights, there is no calling for help, no phones, no internet,,,,,,,.
And that is what its like after a hurricane.
You are really trying hard to make yourself out to be more superior than people in Texas. Ironically you are coming off as looking pretty fucking dumb. Actually dumb would be an understatement.
It's quite possible that I have more guns at my immediate disposal than every forum member from Texas combined. Yet I don't use that to buttress an argument of superior protection. You know why? Because I don't need them to be safe. My area of the country is civilized.
A statement that you need guns just to get by in a region is a statement of the inferiority of that region.
And most of your friends linked here come from your neck of the woods::sneaky: http://crime.about.com/od/serial/Serial_Killers_and_Mass_Murderers.htm
Ha ha ha ha....lol. I guess that would encompass the whole United States then since we fought 2 World Wars to protect ourselves?
Anything north of Conroe is Yankee land, everyone knows this
How's the clam chowder?
The biggest problem with the storm is it is big and slow moving. 50mph winds for an hour are nothing, 50mph winds for over a day though can do a lot of damage. I'm in one of the suggested evac areas in NC and stayed but I am also fairly well versed in survival techniques like hunting, fishing, medical, carpentry, and I have been through these things for 30+ years.
I just took in a feral cat, poor thing was soaking wet sitting outside my door , I just left the door cracked and he came in and laid on the floor and went to sleep. Later it got up , walked to the door looked outside then laid back down. I told him he can go when he wants, he looked at me like " WTF ? Are you nuts ?". Windy and rainy is about all it is so far, but I know how fast that can change.
Huh, it hasn't even started raining. GF and I just got back from Seaport CROWDED with tourists.

No tourists here, It really looks dead outside. No cars or traffic at all, a lot of people left. Just the sound of the rain and the wind in the trees.
Mosh, just wanted you to know that I have a nice safe dry house on a hill with lots of water, batteries and a generator... if you need a place to go just PM meEvacuate! Obama says so. (Prez in on tv right now
Tell that to the people stuck on a train during last years blizzard.Trains would park in safe locations as conditions deteriorate. There is no reason to suspend needed service until that point.
I lived there in 2004? when that last hurricane hit Tidewater.The Norfolk local news was essentially a 30 minute weather report.
Intrepid field reporters down in the Outer Banks are reporting that is raining and windy.
So which military base do you live on?It's quite possible that I have more guns at my immediate disposal than every forum member from Texas combined. Yet I don't use that to buttress an argument of superior protection. You know why? Because I don't need them to be safe. My area of the country is civilized.
