Over a Thousand Motorists Stranded by the Flood: Are You Prepped for Something Like This?By Daisy Luther Some families were trying to evacuate, as flood waters crept closer to their homes, while others were going about their day-to-day business. The National Guard has dispatched helicopters to drop food, water, and supplies to the folks who are waiting in their cars for rescue. Being stranded in your vehicle is not as rare as you might think. A few years back, a freak snowstorm in Georgia and Alabama resulted in a gridlock that left motorists heading home from work stranded in their cars overnight. And in an even more dramatic event, one family was stranded in the frigid wilderness for daysafter an accident, surviving on what they had with them in their Jeep. There are several preparedness lessons to be learned from this disaster: If you were stranded in your car, would you have to wait for supplies to be dropped? None of these steps take a whole lot of money or effort. Go to your pantry right now and choose some supplies to add to your vehicle. It cant hurt, and it could possibly make a miserable experience a lot less unpleasant. Hat tip to Ellen!
