I would like this to be an info thread, not a pissing contest thread.

It doesn't have to, I'm just posting General Information.

Today is the beginning of Hurricane Season

Hurricane season 2012: Prediction calls for 'near normal'


http://www.latimes.com/videogallery/70125227/Technology/Hurricane-forecast--15-named-storms-expected


The good news on the weather front is that Americans can expect a return to near-normal hurricane conditions this season. The bad news is that normal seems good only because recent years have been so tough.

In predictions released Thursday, forecasters for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said they expected a near-normal hurricane season for the Atlantic Basin and for the Eastern Pacific region. In both areas, the predicted number of storms falls within the typical range, fewer than in recent years.

Out here in the West, we get to worry about Wild Fires and the Santa Ana Winds, which creates havoc and only pushes the fire faster towards the coast.

100-mph Santa Ana winds whip Southwest

300,000 homes and businesses were without power across California after 100 mph Santa Ana winds whipped through overnight. Lee Cowan reports the state is preparing for another assault from the rare and dangerous phenomenon.

And we get Earthquakes ! DUH !

These potential Natural Disasters is WHY I PREPARE !

I live in the San Andreas Fault, I live on I-10, the channel that the Santa Ana Winds blows thru.

The California Esperanza Fire came within 30 miles of my house.

stay safe Lumi...

I do my best Ripken !

My goal is to keep my family safe, secure, aware and self suffiecient if the time arises.

Also, if there are members here at MJ's, and I am certain there are ! Who are interested in preparing, maybe not as hardcore as I am? But have gotten a clue, have seen the idicators, if I can nudge them in the right direction to resources, COOL !

If there are those who want links, ideas, advice, (the best I can possibly give, there are those online who are super stars) I will lead you to those locations.

My email is on my profile page, same as my yahoo msgr, or ask Jack for it.

Having a weeks worth of food, water, shelter, "Protection" and other necessities, doesn't make you crazy or paranoid. It makes you prepared and responsible for your family.

I just happen to have more than a weeks worth of gear.
