True! And should the disaster actually occur, those credit-buyers are gonna make out like *bandits*! In all seriousness, I expect little, if any, problems. But its still a good idea to have reasonable emergency reserves stored up, if only in case of earthquake, extended winter power outages, or the like. We have water, some long-storable food, filled the R/V propane and fuel tanks, dry wood, and pet food. And I've finally gotten around to building a cable from the R/V generator to the house mains panel, like I want every time the power drops for more than a couple of hours! Dave
