New Madrid Fault

[inyati13]

You guys down in western KY feel the May 2 earthquake? The New Madrid fault makes the San Andreas look like a crack in a stone crock.

Going to hit, a matter of time. Could affect property as far away as Washington DC. Earthquakes in the 1800s changed the flow of the Mississippi River. Bigfoot, are you doing anything to prepare?

 

[Bigfoot]

Just praying.

 

[inyati13]

Just praying.

You serious? Not about praying but that you include the fault in your prayers. I assume you are praying against it.

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

You don't really pray for or against something in my experience, you pray for the strength to endure and overcome the obstacles in your life as well as for the safety of your loved ones.

Maybe that's just me.

Hey. Let's drop it there. Remember. Dun has been very clear, ad nauseum as he says.

 

[TennesseeTuxedo]

Well you asked.

Getting back to where I intended this to go. I am stocking food, water, guns, ammunition, shoulder fired missiles, bayonet, long underwear, and plenty of whiskey.

Everything breakable is being replaced with non-breakable. Most of all, I got a fully equipped armored all terrain vehicle that carries all the cows. Plus my corgi dog. Cows all equipped with udder covers. Don't want any milk shaken.

Where can I get a shoulder fired missile? :lol:

Might also be interested in a armored ATV also.

PM me. In addition to being a cowboy, I run weapons to the eastern Kentucky hillbillies. I can fit you with everything from a sidearm to a fighter jet.

We're basically on top of it as well. I didn't feel the May 2, but I've felt a couple in the past. None shook the doors in the door-frames like when the Corp blew the levee at Birds Point. Life as usual. What preparing goes on is mostly for the zombie apocalypse.

 

[greatgerts]

Talltimber, I was not down there when they blew the levee, but I was living in Cape when they blew the old bridge up. I was 5 miles north of town, and it shook my house. That of course didn't make me think earthquake as bad as when some lovely specimen didn't put his emergency brake on and his jeep popped out of gear and rolled down a hill and hit the apartment building I was in. That knocked stuff off of the walls, and rocked the fridge. I sure braced myself for an earthquake on that one!

Is Blue the talking dog SOL or has he departed company?

I remember being in 5th grade or so when the last guy predicted the date it would shake. The school stayed open but parents could keep their kids home if they chose. Brother and I stayed home for a couple of days and played the best I remember.

Earthquake coverage on peoples homeowners policies will be a huge problem. It's gotten so expensive and many companies have dropped out of the market.

Currently, or where will it be after a big shaker?

I dropped ours because it is now a 40% deductible and they raised the rates to over $500 a year. I don't know if that was wise, but the only thing they are going to cover is total devastation. If half of your home has to be gone before they will payout, then I think we are going to have bigger problems than a few cracks in the walls.

Big quake means water lines will probably be broke, gas lines, electric etc. and the VAST majority of people don't stock more than a couple days of food anymore.

I had just bought a generator during our big ice storm several years ago, talk about save the day. We were without power in 0-10 degree weather for a week, and we were lucky to get power that fast. People were very unprepared, the lines to get a generator were huge, people had no heat, no food etc. Gave a glimpse of what a real emergency would look like and it wasn't pretty.

I have not stored food since moving to the farm, I need to get back into that, and dig a well for sure, I do store a lot of gas though. I have bought a small quiet Honda generator that only uses a gallon of gas for 8-10 hours vs. 5 gallons for the bigger one.

Need me to ship you any Mormon food kits? You want prepared for the end of times, they wrote the book on it. Every grocery store here has some aisle space devoted to their food stores. It's quite eye opening the first few times we saw it and realized what it was for.

I bought a genetator but it's not that fuel efficient
What do you have ?

 

[Kell-inKY]

Honda EU2000i, I think it's more like 8 hours at a quarter throttle though. It will power a fridge, a bunch of lights, fan motor for your furnace etc., not made for big stuff, 2000 watts max. and very quiet.

I found out quick I did not need a big generator burning fuel like crazy. Plus we really stood out in the neighborhood in dead of night with a big noisy generator running all the time. Kind of made me think we would be a target if things were really bad, but mainly it's the WAY less fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is a BIG deal when all the gas stations don't function.

Things that really take power are stuff like a coffee pot, hair dryer, ridiculous amount of watts for those unnecessary things. I use ours all the time for fence work, it's pretty light.

Here's one that recently came up for sale in town. Might not suit all your requirements but I think it probably EMP resistant.

Those are very good generators! I have two of them... one for the necessities in the house, and the other one for the shop where we keep our freezers.
