Exactly.

I grew up in Florida and the rule of thumb during hurricane season is that you should be prepared to go without electricity or running water for some period of time - 3 days? 3 weeks? I can’t remember the duration. And if there was no electricity or water the roads were likely impassible because of downed trees and power lines and stores and restaurants could be closed. We usually had a few gallons of water, some canned food, bread in the freezer, extra peanut butter, some shelf stable stuff on hand just in case. We did sometimes have to use that food after a storm.

I assume there are also guidelines about being prepared for winter storms, tornadoes, and earthquakes in other parts of the country.

Point is, I think that some level of prepping is really quite normal and rational for a lot of people. A garage full of supplies seems a bit extreme, but I also get it that after the last couple of years in particular people want to feel like they’re in control of something. [/quote]\
