** 12-Aug-2020 World View: Prepping
It would be worthwhile to give a nod to the preppers. There are a lot
of people who are interested in information of this type. A related
question that I've been asked frequently is, "Where can I move to where
it's safe?" There have been various suggested answers over the years.
I personally know (or used to know) several families that moved to
bunkers in the Midwest.
I think that this is a very interesting and valuable list:
"Guest Prepper" seems to be totally obsessed with this subject, but
it's an obsession that may save her family.

> 9. Tornado/Hurricane/Sand & Dust Storms
