You just kind of deal with things like losing power, having nights without heat, and all the damage/destruction that goes with it.

Growing up in earthquake country with parents from snow country really drove the "we have to fend for ourselves!!!!" mentality. Oh and Girl Scouts, I learned a lot about survival and outdoor living conditions from Girl Scouts.
Natural disasters can happen anywhere at any time, and I and definitely ready to handle it and a lot of that is my background, current place of residence, and socialization skills in my community. Not having to work or go to school and staying home, even without power would be a dream!
