Sperbonzo,

Can you imagine the day to day danger of residents in skyscrapers storing a couple 55 gallon drums of gasoline in their homes?

Living on 20 acres in Montana or 2000 square feet in NYC isn't the same thing. Homes on Long Island that have never seen a drop of floodwater before, now have boats on their front lawns. The magnitude of this storm dwarfs anything anyone here has ever seen before... Waste treatment plants have been knocked offline, the entire manhattan grid was down, Chelsea Piers had seven feet of water inside it.

It would be like prepping for a comet to hit your house. The surrounding damage is so widespread that having a generator on your refrigerator and a kerosene heater does you pretty much zero good. I live on Long Island.. I'm in Connecticut now because that's the closest safe place to the damage. That's a pretty far ways away.
