What is happening in Iowa could happen to any of us; but, who would believe it could happen to them?! Even while it is happening there, it is hard to believe. Meanwhile, the west coast is in a serious drought. Tonight, we have only 7% humidity and there are fire storms raging just a 90 minute drive from my house. Yet, if the Shasta Dam were to burst, I might have about 10 minutes to split this scene before I'd be floating vulture food.
On this forum, there is a section called "Bugout".

If we follow Mike's lead, we may all be very glad we are building or have built a camping trailer to "bugout" in!
