O.H., your "bingo" has highlighted what I think may be the single most important issue in all of this. I must say, I cannot comprehend your choice. If the government were to announce today that everyone should prepare for 3 months without food, utilities, etc., there is virtual certainty that something really, really bad would happen. If the government sticks to its hurricane/snowstorm approach, there is some (unknown) probability that something really, really bad will happen. Many on this thread think that probability is very high, so that influences their choice on this question. Still, why would anyone consciously choose a certain disaster over a possible or even probable disaster? No public official would ever make that call. Put yourself in that position of responsibility. I'll bet you wouldn't either. If we were still a couple of years away from Y2K, I could understand your point of view, because there would be time for controlled preparations. But not at this late date. Karen
