Life or death emergency stranded in a Blizzard Buffalo New York hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper winter is here and perhaps you've seen the tragic news out of Buffalo
New York where so many people were stranded and even lost their lives due to a horrible blizzard
then I was reading this article and it said life and death situation 30 people stranded at Target
store and I'm thinking how on Earth is that life or death if you're stranded in Target talk about
a misleading title 30 people were forced to spend part of their Christmas weekend in a
Target store while they waited out the blizzard that crippled the Buffalo area a Blizzard's not
like an earthquake that comes on suddenly you have plenty of warning that winter storms are coming
why would you venture out of your home which is a very important reason to become a prepper if
people knew this storm was coming and it was going to be terrible you don't need to go out picking
up people to bring them to your home for a holiday party you don't need to worry about rushing out to
the store because you don't have enough supplies you should already have those things and when the
hint of a storm on the horizon comes that's when you take inventory and if you need something you
go get it ahead of time you don't venture out in the middle of a storm for any reason it doesn't
make sense to head out in a storm you hunker down and make the best of it for people to
describe life or death situation in Target will actually Target is the perfect place to be they
have everything you would want they have a camping section they have a food section they were a group
of six and they stopped at a grocery store and wanted to shelter inside well it's not up to
the grocery store those people probably want to try to get home as well the employees it's not
up to them to now take care of you it reminds me of similar situations that we are concerned about
of non-peppers showing up at our home when there are hard times and that that's what these people
are doing they're the non-preppers showing up in an emergency and expecting someone else to
help them so yes it was a wise idea to try to find a shelter rather than stay in their car but
you certainly shouldn't blame the grocery store because they aren't going to open up as a public
shelter that's not their responsibility and yes it's great that Target did that but I don't see
these people saying thank you so much to Target where do I pay my bill by Christmas Eve 30 people
sought refuge in Target Big Box store they had inflatable mattresses from the camping section
they had pillows from the Home Goods they were waiting at the in-store Starbucks for warm drinks
as the winter storm raged outside that's hardly a life or death situation that's like you showed
up at a fully stocked bunker and took advantage of Target and I certainly hope that those people paid
for the items that they used and didn't expect Target to just provide things for them Bravo to
Target for doing the right thing and helping people in a blizzard emergency situation when
it wasn't their responsibility try to take a lesson from this your emergency plan should not
be a Target store you should have the supplies you need at home and you should hunker down and
wait it out so that you don't have a crisis to the decisions that you made I guess Teddy
doesn't even want to hear about what these people did anyway the life or death situation was the
people who were stranded in their cars not the people who were stranded in Target and we need
to remember that there were plenty of victims which tragically lost their lives the lesson
from this is try to be prepared don't depend on someone else's generosity to take care of yourself
get the supplies you need for any situation if you live in an area with winter storms put some
Winter survival gear in your car at all times you should have warm clothes you should have some some
snack foods blankets maybe some flashlights all of the things that we're always saying you need
to have if you are heading out make sure that you have a get home bag a shelter in place kit a 72
hour kit whatever you want to call it because in a situation like that you can call 9-1-1 everyone's
calling 9-1-1 they can't be everywhere they're doing their best and we can't blame them if
they can't get there to you in time when you're the one who put yourself in that situation you
don't want to be responsible for bringing these situations onto yourself if you know there's
threats and dangers coming prepare for them and then hunker down and make the best of it
tell me what you think in the comments below what could people do differently to be better prepared
so we don't have to read about these tragedies in the future if you enjoyed my video I hope you'll
