2024 Tropical Weather Thread

A personal account of a couple's experience in Helene in the process of learning what happens when all of the infrastructure that we all take for granted every day is no longer there.


Everyone makes fun of preppers. What most don't realize is how quickly everything you know can disappear. Of course I'm more sensitive to it than most since I see it first hand often but "it will never happen to me" syndrome is real.

I should put together a basic prepper pack that includes a few low voltage lights a lithium generator and solar charger, starlink mini, led lights, food and water to last 14 days. I could do it all for $2k and be prepared for a whole lot.
