 Knowing this, I wish I could better predict their behavior when something does happen.
Actually Badger, I can predict their behavior. See the original post. ;D

Probably was wrong to use the "hoarder" brand.  But I can tell you "Hurricane Zone" though it is, MAYBE 1 in 100 people, nah, scratch that, 1 in 3 or 4 hundred might have more than a few days food or supplies in their homes around here.   ::) >:( ::)

Some talk about doing it.  I seriously don't know another person here who's done anything more than buy a weather alert radio.  And only two come to mind that have that!  Knowing this, I wish I could better predict their behavior when something does happen.  I hope they just bug out!

Only people I know that actually stock up any supplies still live in Michigan. 

You get hurricanes now and then.
We get blizzards every effin year.  ;D

That is basicly the same talk I had with an old boss on how well he was prepared. His big thing was the Yellowstone Super Volcano.

He saw the light and ended up getting two AR's, couple thousand rounds and TRAINING!

Good guy and now he and his wife are pretty fair shooters.

Anyone ever watch the show on Nat. Geo called "Doomsday Preppers?"

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/doomsday-preppers-6202/Overview

Some go way overboard, some get it right,....their plan is than analyzed by an "expert"....and evaluated.

I've been through some pretty bad hurricanes,....got a nice wave forming "could be Emily" by next week,....

I just put up my sign.

You should pin a few of your used targets to that sign before you put it out next time.

And keep a few strips of those Black Cat fireworks that sound like full auto fire laying around just for laughs.   ;)

I always keep a stash of Black Cats, Real Smoke Grenades, Roman Candles, etc,. Never know,.. ;)..When I lived in Wilmington, NC, Fran and Bertha were about the worst. Fran put water to the bottom of the STOP sign where I lived on Carolina Beach.

Open carried, as allowed by law, with neighbors, we were well stocked with gens, fuel, water and food, in stilt houses,....NG stopped by asked if we needed anything in a semi-rigid, we smiled waved and there was none of this Post Katrina BS.,,,,,

Regions of the country, should the SHTF, will quickly become degraded to lawlessness, like unarmed sections of the "Blue" states. SOME, will NOT.....

I'd rework that sign. Put a circle on it marked 300 yards.  ;D
