What can she do, realistically speaking, to prepare for all this?

Prepare a "Get Out Of Dodge Quick" Go-Pack?

Have an evacuation destination picked out, with multiple routes marked on maps?

Car kept in good repair and tank topped off, with a couple of full spare cans with Stab-il? Maybe also have a bicycle, in case all highways out are impassible?

Maybe cache some food, etc. at her evac site?

Just to point out that, living in a major earthquake zone, she really should do this anyway. Alan D. will confirm that this drill is (or should be) SOP for folks living in hurricane zones.

Yes, that all falls under basic diasaster prep. I have all of that stuff in spades msyelf, mostly because of the earthquake risk. She does to and even has stuff in her classroom in case the school annnounces a "security lockdown" and they are locked down in the classroom.(They've even had drills for this.)

In terms of a temporary crisis, one that lasts between 5 and 50 days, all of that can save your butt. But that's not what I'm talking about here which is a long term, permanent crisis.

Yeah, cause mankind is so fuckin dumb it'll nuke itself rather than figuring a way out of this mess. Christ, I mean, its a shared fear we all have been having for like 60 years now? But to literally say that its the most probable thing, well, it had to come only from Matt. He's the one who thinks the gov is preparing to change our genes, while creating a terminator robot (LOL) and freaks out because pres. Bush is being substituted for a day by his own vice-president... ('Doh!)

What a doomer! You beat them all, man. Keep it up. Until the bomb goes, that is!
