I was made homeless during the recent flooding in SE Queensland which included the metropolitan area of Brisbane, a city of 2 million that was sent back to the stone age for a week - no power or water.
Outside the city, when the flash flood subsided, cars were found jammed under bridges with bodies inside. They still have not found up to 60 bodies who may be jammed up trees, still in homes, or washed out to sea.
In the aftermath, I was working on the cleanup during the first few days when authorities allowed people back into the flooded zones. I was working around Mormons, because my family is still Mormon. I became aware that the Mormon people are extremely generous with their time and labour. However, what I also noticed was that Mormons help Mormons and no one else.It was all about "Brother"and "Sister", no one at the house I was working at even bothered to speak to any neighbours who were also working through this.
There was even scowls and sarcastic comments made to hard working city employees who were given 6 packs of beer by people to take home.
At the same time, groups of young men from churches in non-flood impacted suburbs and adjoining cities drove up to an hour with their own cleaning supplies to help out people they had never met.
You know what else? The usual BS paranormal talk was EVERYWHERE amongst the Mormons. It's a "sign of the times" - no, it's a sign that urban areas with millions of people in them tend to get hit hard when they are built on a slow, meandering river in a sub-tropical climate.
There was also much talk about 2012, which is not Mormon dogma but is still apocalyptic talk. They LOVE this sh!+.
OH, and on the subject of end of days preparation, food storage is the biggest waste of time imaginable. Australia gets hit with severe bushfires (forest fires?) and floods. Bushfires here are like a volcano going off. All the trees have OIL in the leaves and bark so they virtually explode. The dry bark of many trees hangs down like fuses. These trees evolved so the fire front would pass quickly and not destroy the lignotubers of trees that sprout immediately after the next rain. With houses however, the heat is so intense that nothing remains, including drums of fucking wheat. Water evaporates, after the can melts.
In floods, and I now have personal experience of this, flood waters 3 metres (9.84 feets) over a SEALED TIGHT plastic drum of sterile water will force impurities into the drum. I've seen sealed tight canisters of wheat rupture after a few days and the stench is something "straight from Satan's bottom". All that came of the wheat stored at one house I saw was a new way to attract all the flies within a 50km radius. Unbelievable. Imagine an oil drum of wheat and a fly for every 3rd grain.
The method of securing the wheat did not matter. I saw screwtop plastic drums pushed apart by expanding soaked wheat. Half of the storage is in the Pacific Ocean now anyway.
Realistically, for so much wheat to ever be needed it would have to be the end of civilisation as we know it, because even with 75% of the state of Queensland (1,300,000 square km underwater. total area of Texas is 696,241 square kilometers), you could still get a burger in the dry places.
Put it this way, if things get so bad that you have to start eating the wheat, there will be mobs of bigger, stronger and better armed people out there looking for lights at night and the smell of bread baking.
