This is just me, but I don’t believe we were caught by surprise. The News Meteorologist did an unusual great job. We were told at least a week in advance of the weather coming and it was weather like we haven’t seen in decades. I don’t know how many people listened and prepared, but we did.
We had more food than enough. We had water that was adequate for us and senior neighbors. That is without touching any of our emergency supplies. We had our generator ready along with 20 gallons of gas ready for our generator. I don’t know how long we could have went, but I feel we were prepared.
I know a lot of the parishioners of my church had a hard time. Having a 4 wheel drive F-250 became part of my ministry as we tried to take care of our elder members. It was definitely the storm of a century. A lot of of lessons should have been learned. Self preservation rather than government preservation.
We need a like button.
