preparation

I may sound harsh but here goes.

When I taught school I gave my students plenty of time to prepare for a test.  I told them that the test was coming, sometimes telling them the number of days they had to prepare.  I would tell them what was covered and what MIGHT be included on the test.  It was their responsibility to study and prepare.

If the student did not study ad failed the test I didn't say "oh you poor dear".  I expected them to prepare and if they didn't they suffered the consequences.

Now to my point.

People in the North East knew a storm (or 2) was coming. They were warned of things that "might" be happening: i.e. power outages, flooding, etc.  They were told to prepare.  Those who did not prepare then got caught "unaware"?  I don't think so. They had time to get prepared, to buy food, to buy generators, to do what was necessary to keep the property and themselves safe.

So when they go on line and complain about not having power for 2 days, or not having heat, or food, etc. I have very little sympathy.

We live through 6 months of hurricane season every year, and we are told to prepare. We can't stop the storm but we can do as much as possible to make any damage minimal, so we have shutters for the widows, a generator to keep the power on, and enough food, water and medicine to last at least 5 days, as we are told to do.  It's a hardship at time, but we do it.

So, as far as I am concerned,  for those who complain about the storm hitting only have themselves to blame.
