What kind of idiot would want to run TOWARD a killer wave? *facepalm*

I have never understood that. It's the same mentality that compels people to just stop and watch the wildfires, instead of leaving when told to leave.

And yes, please please please please have an emergency kit prepared. I know I catch a lot of flak for always having one, but I really think everyone should have one. Red Cross is a good site to reference in making your kit. And when putting together your kit, don't forget your pets!
