Those people have access to water and food. Many have to leave their homes to get it, and some markets are empty because people went wild buying up everything, but it's been 6 days. They'll get food in there quick enough. Who doesn't have enough food to last 6 days? If your home is wiped out like many of those people, then it doesn't matter how much food you have. If it's not, you have enough food left in your fridge/freezer to last you a week or two. Dry pasta, some canned goods. Unless you're a bachelor, you've got food. Perhaps you won't have the exact mean you were "feeling like" for the day, but you'll have food.

If you end up in a situation where you're house is the only one with power, food and water, and you aren't sharing you're going to find it forcefully taken from you. Someone will light the whole place on fire because you're an a-hole and some other wacko will spazz and light your house on fire. Or the house beside yours, where you can't see him doing it until you're dealing with 50' flames leaping across to your house. Simple as that. Do you have enough water stored up to put out a gas fire? Probably not.

If people don't have food/water/power after a week, they'll leave the devastated area. If you're the only one left in a deserted town, while everyone else rebuilds elsewhere with fresh food, clothing and water who's the idiot then?

Vancouver had it's entire water supply destroyed for 2 weeks. It took 2 days to get enough bottled water into the city to satisfy everyones needs. Things get done and fast. Otherwise people evacuate. The only people not evacuating are the ones with $0 in their bank accounts who can't even afford a bus to get out of the city, like the ones left in new orleans.

People in Japan aren't behaving like New Orleans for a reason. They're educated and decently well off. The people stuck in New Orleans just waited for the government to give them water, food, money and housing. That's all we saw on TV. There was no one sitting in their house with a generator with 3 months of food saying "I'm waiting this one out" No,they LEFT.

Cesium-137 has a half life of 30 years and a crapload of this stuff is now entering the atmosphere in a steady, ongoing, out-of-control meltdown burn happening in several different locations. The airstream will ensure this never-ending radiation will make it's way to the US. Remember, the half life is THIRTY years. This is not going to dissipate before it gets to the US.

Good luck everyone. Next step is for the masses to realize how bad it's about to get, and then there will be a run of food and water. Food and water supplies will soon be contaminated. Give it a few days.

It is coming.

Look on the bright side . . . free cat scans and x-rays!

I've been thinking about buying 30-days worth of MRE's from the PX at Fort Sam Houston. They will special order them for private buyers.
