Episode 4 – North Korea Concerns

Is the world on the brink of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula?  Possibly, but a nuclear exchange might not even be the worst of it.  In this episode, I give a very sobering assessment of the possibility of a nuclear exchange with North Korea, the possibility of EMP attack, the possibility of chemical / nerve gas attacks, radiation / fallout concerns for Americans, and even a conventional attack on the city of Seoul, South Korea.  Sadly, the outcome could mean millions of people dead, pretty quickly.

Episode 2 – Houston Flooding

Flooding can be a very serious SHTF event.  In this case, there was no order to evacuate, even flood-prone areas.  And the catastrophic flooding that was predicted in southeast Texas was ignored by so many there.  Why was that?  I have a theory.

I did not discuss any items that would help you prepare for flooding, but if I did, I would have discussed these items:
