My sister who goes to church says they've been told to prepare as far back as last winter, to store a year's worth of food... but of course, the Mormons do that anyway! lol
but she heeded the warning finally.
One thing I'll mention is the sun... something's definitely up with that! It's much much brighter and for the past two summer seasons, this past one especially, crops just won't grow properly and many people around here are experiencing this and THAT is something to be alarmed about. We have a large garden and only the root (grow underground) crops did well (potatoes/turnips and such things), black eyed peas, okra. But things like tomatoes - terrible! I planted 35 tomatoes and never got enough to can any at one time. Even the peppers that LIKE heat did not thrive well. Melons, just cracked and died. It's crazy!
Anyway, through ALL the past several years when avalon forum first started, the economic disaster is the ONLY thing that I've thought was REAL. All the other stuff... distractions & entertainment!
