We just had a tsunami alert the other night as well! It's the end of days!

Slept through it, the great big preppy prepper that he thinks he is!

Alerts are newly on the phone. TBF the houses low enough to be affected were all knocked by first responders or were in communities with sirens etc.

So i am not in any way a prepper, but can i just tell you about the house we are building? (And wool be done soon! Hallelujah!)
Is Adobe and welded steel with propanel (metal) siding. It has 7kwh solar panels and we have a greenhouse! It's not an earthship, but we're only a 1/4 mile from the river.
Yesterday dh said "we'll be fine if the apocalypse doesn't involve too many gangs"

I was like, is that why you built this?

But anyway, well Likely be toast in a nuclear Armageddon as we live in NM

Is he shamefaced or is he in 'justification mode'?

I think he's fine because we are high enough to say we'd have been OK. There will certainly be some private, shame-faced organizing behind the scenes! I've already spotted a couple of things on our amazon account!

Wink

I'm in two minds about whether it will have been useful. On balance, I think it might - from your perspective. (A Full Margin Rupture of the CSZ would be nothing like that of course.)

Getting the alerts on everyone's phone I think will be useful.

If Cascadia goes we're all dog food anyway!

Well hopefully, your own family won't be?
