Norma's Earthquake Kit

I've been reading "Can't Wait To Get To Heaven" by Fannie Flagg and thought this paragraph had perfect timing with everything going on in our area.

Norma had also had an earthquake kit in the garage, where she kept bottled water, matches, six cans of Del Monte chili, a small supply of her hormones, thyroid medicine, aspirin, a jar of Merle Norman cold cream, and fingernail polish remover and an extra pair of earrings. Although it was not very likely that an earthquake would hit Elmwood Springs, Missouri, she felt it was better to be safe than sorry.

Isn't that a great book? I love all of Fannie Flagg's stuff.
And if we were all as prepared as Norma, we'd be in business.

Gotta have nail polish remover and cold cream! What would this earth come to if we couldn't have those things during a hurricane?!;-)

Fanny Flagg, she's old! My generation. So goofy, amazing what you gotta have in an emergency. Lots of charmin toilet paper and a 5 gallon bucket!
