October is "Fire Prevention" month and I have been preparing for disasters now even more because of how many I have been watching all around our country. I have personally had family effected by the natural disasters and it has made me more aware of how lacking our household is in terms of preparation.
A little over 21 1/2 years ago, in January 1994, I was sound asleep in my third story apartment that I shared with my roommate. Suddenly, at 4:30 in the morning, I was thrown out of bed and our apartment was jumping up and down and things were flying through the air and falling all over the floor. It was like nothing I had ever experienced - I am a native Californian and have been through many earthquakes. But, this one was different. It was like someone picked up a salt shaker and shook it straight up and down. It was terrifying!! My finance, John, was across town and was at my door within half hour of the huge earthquake. His apartment was completely trashed and the whole drive to my apartment he said that every window in the city was broken and the tragedy was only beginning. Have you ever been in a situation like that?
