Prepare For SANDY; NaturalNews:Extended "grid down" survival scenario about to be unleashed across Eastern USA in 48 hours

Dear Lisbon Reporter and NaturalNews readers,

The Eastern USA is about to experience a "reality drill" for preparedness: Hurricane Sandy is converging with an arctic air blast and vicious storm front to produce a "storm of the century" Frankenstorm that will, without question, cause extended power outages coupled with freezing temperatures.

In one sense, this is about to become the largest emergency preparedness drill the United States has ever seen. Are the people really ready?

Emergency supplies are sold out everywhere, and I'm already receiving reports of near-fist fights breaking out at retail establishments over bottled water.

Here are my thoughts on preparedness, the approaching Frankenstorm, and why waiting for FEMA to rescue you is always a bad idea:
