Small Tropical Storm or Major Tornado…Either one can create a food emergency.

Another point in case, an F-4 tornado struck our neighborhood just this spring, sadly killing 14 people, but leaving hundreds of others without the essentials for daily existence, and it all happened and was over in minutes. People with no shelter, all possessions blown literally away, and a sudden and very real need to gather all items necessary for survival, including food and water.

The devastation was very over-whelming. I have no way of knowing how many, if any, had a food storage plan in place. I’m sure some did, because here in “tornado alley”, we just know at some point that it will happen. But, because we never know where the next natural disaster will strike, we need to be prepared. And that’s why you need to pick up at least a few food storage survival kits and educate yourself on how to survive a food emergency.

I am not a paranoid fool who thinks we should all prepare for a global disaster like something from a summer blockbuster movie, but stocking up on basic survival needs, survival food storage kits and being prepared to survive a food emergency certainly seem like a prudent message to convey to you and try to convince you of the importance to you and your family.

Tropical storm Fay hung around Florida for days and caused major flooding and crisis for a lot of people who I’m sure didn’t expect a small storm like Fay to be capable of.

My only point is to be prepared, be aware that you may have to survive a food emergency at some time. You may really have a need for survival food storage someday. You do not want to be trying to compensate for lack of preparing when you are trying to survive.
