Disaster Prepared!
Sunday, Easter day we had a 7.2 Earthquake, Monday, we had another at 5.2 on the Richter Scale. Crystal Blaker of CB Consulations reported tornedo warnings in St. Louis and of course all the heavy flooding in the Northeast. We in California are waiting for the big one and everyone in Arizona is waiting for their property to become beachfront.
If you are like me, thinking it’s not going to happen to you- it just might. There are an estimated 50 earthquakes every day in the world. 1-3 hurricanes approach the US every year . Wiki Answers says there are 200,000 tornados every year in the US, 5,300 Wildfires, 1,000′s of floods, not counting all the other natural disasters including excessive Winter Storms and Heat, 9 active volcanoes (think Washington and Hawaii) Landslides, Tsunamis (think Hawaii, California, Alaska)
