I often say on the show we don’t “prep for events” we instead prepare to deal with out systems of support. Yet at times we do need to analyze specific threats to our survival and formulate more specific plans based on our individual risk, specifically our geographic risks.
Note – The photo above was taken on my iPhone of a Church Hall damaged by a recent tornado in an area about 5 miles from our office in Hot Springs Village Arkansas. Neither our home or our office suffered any damage. More photos of this area will be posted later this week.
You can see the full sized image by clicking on the picture, notice the picture still hanging on the back wall!
