Real Superdome facts

I don't mean to sound like a know it all... but I live in CA.

And, for as long as I can remember... I've been told to have an earthquake kit ready. In 1st-6th grade, we had an awareness day once a year focusing on how to prepare and survive "the big one".

A ton of family I know keep a 55 gallon drum in their garage filled with emergency supplies and such.

News channels are constantly running specials and stories about how to prepare.

I would imagine they do the same thing in Hurrican areas? Am I way of base here?
