    I haven't read through this, but passports. When we were given an evacuation notice, we packed normal stuff, but battery powered radio flashlights, BATTERIES, gun, ammo, passports, money, first aid kit, walkie talkies.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    What would you do if a flood washed away your home and gardening tools? Just lie down and die?

    A couple of years ago we were evacuated during wild fire (Coco fire in San Marcos) - my wife was in a business trip to Orange county, the fire started in the morning, was far away, when I went to pick a kid from school I saw the smoke and paid attention to the news, 3 hours later they declared are area an evacuation zone. I had very little time, packed the kids, dog, papers (passports etc) and basic change of clothes and ran to the ocean.

    When my wife joined us - she was pissed I did not pack her PJ's - so, if you are married, I suggest your better half's sleepwear

    Actually they put out an image of what Portland would look like if everything flooded, and the 'hood survives. We are pretty high up on the east side ridge. That and my house is about 10 feet up off the street. The HCP band FAMS will be good to go.

    You'd be the first house all the white people with guns and machetes would go to.

    Floods only one thing. Just a real bad power outage during the winter times, could be a couple weeks. Or what about earthquakes, solar flares, or financial collapse. Just good to have some stuff ready. And it's fun to get it figured out.

    But aside from a go bag, more important is a couple weeks water, food for the home.

    I'm down in north bay California and it was 113 earlier. People going crazy in the heat. Car accidents everywhere. I'm mainly in my home with my fiancée away from it all but I have plenty of free time and calm moments to wear my tinfoil hat and sharpen my spear.

    Nah, I fully admit it's a goodball thing to go crazy over, but when downtime comes its kind of fun. And I do think the apocalypse shit is crazy talk, but bad storms, earthquakes or floods are all shit that happens. And with the weather getting crazier every year (thanks religious assholes) I think those bad weather events will get more frequent and more precarious.

    And I went to Costco onWednesday yo

    We will never stock up on any supplies and I'm sure we'll be the first ones the zombies get!

    Will you provide hot sauce to the zombies or make them eat you straight?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    San Francisco was hotter than Las Vegas yesterday. It's hard to properly underscore how insane that is--Mark Twain once said, "The coldest winter I ever experienced was summer in San Francisco." It's perpetually shrouded in fog and gets constant breeze/wind off an arctic current running through that part of the Pacific Ocean. And it was 106 degrees.

    End times, indeed.
