Sisco Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 Sounds like the southern US is going to get another kick in the nuts. You members in Florida, stay safe and hope it misses you. Harvey guys, I contacted my Senators and Congressman and basically told them they better be front and center on getting aid for Harvey victims passed quick even if they are from Wisconsin. No excuse not to get it done. They can do something useful for a change. Our thoughts are with you as well.

The hard part will relief bills like these is that you get "relief" for the spotted owl habitat in Oregon and the dung beetle study needs funding, etc... Those are made up but you get the point. A lot of the relief money goes to someone's pet project nowhere close to where the need is. But yes, money and manpower is needed to get things back close to normal.
Sisco Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Posted September 6, 2017 I know your right, but right now a lot of places are going to need access to FEMA funds quickly. And Congress needs to allocate it. We had a FEMA issue when I was Town Chair, so I know the song and dance.
EngrBob Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 Congress is doing its big bill (so we can hide the pork) thing again. Ryan and McConnell need to go or the Republicans will never show that they are capable of getting anything done.
jtallen83 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 Wonder what we'll get from this crisis, all "republican" controlled government.............
Armed Eye Doc Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 Those damn Texans started fixing things and taking care of each other instead of waiting for the government. Don't they know there are bribes that need to be paid off?
survivalshop Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 Thanks , this storm will effect just about everyone here . Just remember we go through this crap every year , people are taking this storm serious , like I have never seen around here before .

Better add some water, non perishable food, meds, first aide kit somewhere in the house. And, like was said earlier, all above what may end up being the water line. Trust me when I tell you the waters rise fast, and the winds will come for you. It ain't pretty afterward. Supplies will NOT be coming in for a few days. You WILL be dependent upon yourself and your supplies for survival. And, if you have plenty, help your neighbors brother. I'm real proud of how Texas handled up on Harvey. Shucks, we're still doing it. The effects will be long lasting.

For water, my hot water tank is 80 gallons (seriously, special order item), and my one bathtub is a "Corner garden tub" which is about 90 gallons, and i'll fill it if things start to look crazy. Plenty of canned goods, beans, and my house + grill are on city gas, which they never shut down because turning it back on is nightmarish 25 minutes ago, survivalshop said: Easy , you have too much room in that Safe Need to do some shopping Be safe Brother , this one is going to be nasty & looks like its path is on my side of the State , but it will effect all of us here .

There are a few things in there that aren't obvious, like a takedown 10/22 and a bullpup 10/22 but you're right, I need more in there. Mostly I went over ammo vs rifle for the "what order do I use these in".
