I have a cabinet filled with batteries, 3 flash lights and my radio is ready. I also filled lots of bottles with water. There are canned goods in my cabinet. I am preparing, because this is a wake up call to the nation. Most of all I have Jesus christ, we all need him. God is sending a message to the earth. I am prepared. As one of the posters said a whistle is great. I am going to the 99 cents store tomorrow and buy about 5 whistles for the family. Most of all we need to pray. The weather patterns is unpredictable. Even the North East are getting strong winds and rain.O my God, help us!
