I mayt be living in denial about this a little. We've stocked up some food supplies, and we should be able to evacuate to the family homestead if need be, where there is a steady water supply fed by a windmill, and tons of canned foods, but I have to deal with a wife who is a Type 1 diabetic.

No matter how much we prep, and how much we stock, there will come a time, if the manure really hits it, that she will die. Insulin will only last for so long, and you can bet that pharmacies will be the first to go in a major crisis. If things go south for more than 90 days, she's done, and I haven't come to grips with that quite yet - even though she came within mere hours of death before her diabetes was diagnosed 5 years ago.

I'm not trying to be morbid, but that's my reality.
