Hurricane Sandy

I hate natural disasters. They scare me so much. You don't know when they're coming, how long they're going to be, how dangerous they are, how to prepare, etc. You don't know anything! They just happen, and then homes are destroyed and people are dead and cities are flooded and there's nothing anyone can do, except donate to endless relief funds and pray. Hurricane Katrina was probably one of the worst natural disasters to ever occur in the US, and even today we look back and see how terrifying that must've been. Obviously, this hurricane taking over the east coast isn't going to be nearly as bad as Katrina, but it's still terrifying to know that there's really nothing we can do except wait for disaster to strike. 

You can buy as many flashlights as you want, but what if all our houses get flooded? What if our homes and everything are destroyed? See this is the kind of thing that worries me endlessly. So I've taken it upon myself to write a list of things I would absolutely 100% need in case hurricane Sandy is really bad. This list doesn't include electronics. Because electronics die. It also doesn't include my family. Except my dog.

1. My dog.
2. My candles.
3. A lighter for my candles.
4. Batteries for the lighter.
5. Some food that never goes bad, like Chef Boyardee or goldfish.
6. Some crayons.
7. Paper.
8. Magazines.

You know. While writing this list, I've realized how absolutely lost I'd be without my electronics. It's sad but like honestly I can't live without my phone/computer. This hurricane is like a test to see if we can survive, and hey, we did the first time, right? During that huge storm when nobody had power for like 5 days? We survived then! My whole neighborhood, rallied together in the darkness. It was great. I spent 5 whole days at my neighbor's house, everyone bonded over the misfortune that was nature.

But then again, my neighbors had a generator. And therefore electricity.

Also another note, last weeks blog post was literally just a list of youtube channels. I need to get more creative. So from now on I'll try to write about something more interesting so I don't get like an E on my weekly blog post.

Kbyeee.
