Just a suggestion: instead of buying millions of tiny water bottles, try stocking up on gallon containers or even larger. Even if you're diligently putting those empty tiny bottles in your recycle bin, only about 8% of plastic is actually recycled. For my family, we bought several gallon water containers, save the empties, and fill them up if the forecast indicates a potential hurricane. Caveat: if you save gallon containers with water in them, they will eventually leak. Saving the empty containers eliminates that problem.
Embedded in this piece's entertaining tone is extremely important truth about probability. The RMS Titanic was judged to be unsinkable until, well, you know. Today, June 1, is the fifteenth anniversary of the EF 3 tornado outbreak that was on the ground for 38 minutes and covered 70 miles of Massachusetts. These things don't happen in New England, until they do. I wonder who knows the two-word answer regarding communications when all else fails.
Great article! Little Marco made the list this year! I do have a question. Please let me know if I should send it to Miss Mingo instead. The Gulf Stream is getting weaker and is forecast to collapse in the near future. Do you think that may influence the storms we may get in the future? Thanks.

You've got a forever friend in me.
Give my best to Miss Mingo :-)
