San Andreas for Preppers: 12 Earthquake Survival Lessons from the Movie<\/a><\/h3>\n

Nothing warms my prepper\u2019s heart more than a good disaster movie that supports my hypotheses about a specific event, and the recent movie\u00a0San Andreas<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>\"\"was no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, sure, there was some pretty unrealistic stuff like when The Rock was driving a boat through post-tsunami San Francisco and just happened to find his daughter that he was looking for. The last time I went to San Francisco, my daughter and I had trouble finding each other on the first floor of Forever 21, for crying out loud.<\/p>\n

But, when you only have two hours for a movie, you have to be willing to suspend your disbelief somewhat and put that kind of stuff aside. \u00a0So. putting that aside, I enthusiastically recommend the movie. We live about 4 hours from San Francisco and go there occasionally for educational outings to the excellent museums, so the setting was quite familiar to us, as was the premise of what would occur if an earthquake happened there. So familiar that my daughter was the frequent recipient of my elbow, as I whispered, \u201cSee!!!! I told you this was what would happen if the Big One hit that time we went to the Science Museum!\u201d \u00a0Trooper that she is, she said, \u201cYes, Mom, I know, you were right about that too.\u201d Since she\u2019s a teenager, she probably also rolled her eyes each time, but it was dark and I can\u2019t be absolutely certain of that.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said before, you can\u2019t overestimate the value of finding entertainment that enhances your preparedness mindset.\u00a0A movie is like the prepper version of a sporting event, where we can cheer, jeer, and\u00a0scheme our ways through some imagined event.<\/p>\n
