Once in a lifetime flood / storm/ blizzard/ etc

[NorthernRaider]

Anyone else noted that we appear to be now having once in a lifetime events about every other year, methinks many of us will need to adapt our preps a bit.

I've been talking to a few people about this same thing. Been chatting with BP about it a lot.

One consideration, after the whole 21 Dec 2012 fear, nearly everyone seemed to look at the financial issues and social collapse as being the reason for a SHTF scenario. It seems the weather has brought this line of thought back into vogue.

It gives interesting considerations about where the hordes of refugees will head to. There was an awesome 'flood map' on here somewhere. Might be worth checking that out again. I just remember thinking "Thank F*** that we're safe."

Yes NR, I have noticed. Some people are having "once in a lifetime" storms every year.

The lifetime of what though, A politicians promise? We could have four a day then.

I'm with Skean...people aren't stating the life of what!...its a term thats just bandied around without any qualification...our built in oven blew up a little while back when i complained they said the"lifetime"guarantee had expired at 10years, my new car has a "lifetime" warranty of 100,000 miles not so long ago i was doing over 30,000 miles a year so that would equate to about 3years.
