Reckon They Know Something...?

After reading this article, I am convinced that these folks have a totally different idea of what "food storage" is than I do.

I mean, here even FEMA recommends at least 3 months of emergency food storage for an average family. However, in case these people are really worried about a big bomb going off I don't think that any amount of food storage is going to help them!

India warns of nuclear threat to Kashmir

OFFICIALS in India-controlled Kashmir are warning people to build bomb-proof basements, store enough food and water for two weeks and be prepared for a possible nuclear war.

There was no official reason given for the sudden concern about a nuclear attack in the region, repeatedly fought over by nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan.

However, a series of deadly skirmishes along a cease-fire line in recent weeks has heightened tensions between the two countries.

Kashmir police published the advisory on Monday in the Greater Kashmir newspaper.

The notice advised people to build bomb shelters with toilets and to stockpile food. It also provided advice on how to survive attacks with chemical and biological weapons.

Local authorities did not answer calls for comment.


Now, I don't know about you, but this is a little scary to me! If the public in India is being warned about something like this, then maybe...just maybe, we should be just a little jumpy! You can read the story right here!

Coffee on the patio today. We'll take a chance on the weather outside for a change!
