Kholt...excellent summary...
There exists a threshold of preparation that is "reasonable", beyond which the preparation becomes a losing investment i.e. one of diminishing return, esp. in the context of an immediate nationwide catastrophe, which is possible, though unlikely.
As you've mentioned, if such a sizeable event were to occur, it will pass. Though, how it will pass is were my opinion differs from many on this thread.
Major post-Y2K disruptions will be addressed with either (a) cooperation between neighbors and government (with a bit of frustration) or (b) insufficient cooperation due to a catastrophic event where chances of survival would be minimal, or where sufficient infrastructure damage took place, once again requiring me to rely on aforementioned item (a).
If Americans can behave like civilized human beings, very much like the Japanese did during the Kobe earthquake, this event will come to pass.
The rest will stand guard with their Mossbergs, protecting the family water supply from the Chinese and Russians I guess...just havin' some fun here }8-) ...
