Strange Times

Hi everyone! What strange times we're living in, eh? Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tornadoes that ravaged the south last week. I can't even imagine what those folks are dealing with right now.


And, how will it affect the rest of the country? This article explains that around 5 million chickens in chicken farms in the south are dead after the tornadoes. Be aware that food prices could rise as an affect of the tornadoes.


Also, this argument going on between IL and MO! I don't know how the judge is going to rule on this debate. Homes. Farmland. As a prepper, I hate to see any farmland ruined. But, as a person I hate to think of losing my home to flooding. They say the judge should decide tomorrow on which side 'wins'. I'm very interested to see what happens.


A friend on Facebook had this as her status today: "Is it just me or are food prices going up?" Well, I thought she was a bit late in noticing, but assured her that yes, food prices are rising and that the tornadoes could cause even higher prices. Shop sales and stock up when you see good deals. The deals could be fewer and farther between. We're finally getting a break in the rain up here in northern Illinois, so I'm hoping to be able to start cooking outside on my cast iron over the fire. I'll post about it as soon as I can!


Prep On!
