What to take in an earthquake and tsunami...
You may all have heard that we had a 7.0 earthquake (about 90 mi. off the coast up here). I happened to be driving back from a dinner and on getting home made mental list of what to grab:
dogs
dog food and meds
BIKE(which I keep conveniently in the living room)
water
documents, etc.
sleeping bag
etc.
Fortunately, the tsunami warning was called off shortly thereafter, but, it was a good exercise in priorities!
