Swine Flu

I not an alarmist, but I have to admit as more there are more cases of the Swine Flu in the United States, I'm starting to get a little nervous. The government is saying that it could become a pandemic. I not sure if I totally believe that, but I am concerned over the fact that this seems to be spreading fast. I do not think that it hurts to be prepared. I went through a mini natural disaster last fall when hurricane force winds hit Ohio and our electricity was knocked out for 8 days. We were caught unprepared because things like that do not happen in Ohio very often. It was extremely hard to find flashlights and batteries. Since then, I have learned to be prepared and not wait until the last minute to get supplies. They will probably be gone by then.
