Hi Chris. I am in Houston and have been without power since Monday. I live in a condo building with 3 floors. I have a bottom floor unit with a patio. I bought a generator just for times like this as I need to keep medicine cold and myself and pets safe from the heat. My HOA is now trying to fine me 350 for using my generator. Heat related deaths are climbing but I cannot have a generator. I am a lawyer and I intend to fight their abject stupidity. Houston is strong but we are storm exhausted. I was without power for 5 days during the storm last month. I just purchased a larger jackery power station to try to alleviate the issues but stay prepared for the season. I do not know which is worse hurricanes or HOAs
I'm so very sorry that you're going through this. You sound like you have a really good head on your shoulders. Stay strong. ✨ Just a thot: If you're using a window unit ac it's obvious to the HOA that you have a generator. Portable, indoor ac units on wheels work really well for keeping one room cool enough to live in, and they're very quiet. Although you do have to vent it to the outside, it's still less conspicuous than a window unit. If you don't have one you might want to check it out - I have one and it's been a godsend - I live in FL. And thumbs up on the Jackery.✨
I'm currently on lunch break. I'm a night shift machinist at an aerospace defense manufacturer. I've been in the trade near 30 years. I have NEVER!!! seen it this busy. Working 7 days a week. Money is good. Trying to manage it smartly before it all goes 'pop'.
I moved to the mountains 11 years ago. My intentwas south of the Pleistocene glaciation and above the Phoenix heat domes. It is working for heat domes YAY! 11 years into a native food forest, garden too. Keep moving forward. Good luck to all.
@@ActiveTravelWestUSAI am at 7000 feet in New Mexico. Average 17" rain, I do not irrigate and only grow local native edibles. Even though I am under Phoenix's heat domes, it only gets about 90F for a couple hours on the worst days, down to 50F at night.
In Northern Arizona. South of Flagstaff. Goats, ducks, and chickens. Along with fruit trees and berry bushes. Also forage local plants for food and medicine. So far so good but water well helps during 90° weather.
@@RebeccaTreeseed I’m at 5500 feet and new greenhouse being tested this summer. Here is super cold in NE NV in winter and lots of snow, so can grim from June to October.
At 6k ft in nm. Moved here a few months ago have gone off grid for utilities getting ready for everything else. Not much rain but I have a mountain stream that never stops in the yard
I’m in south Houston and went 4.5 days in sweltering dangerous heat without power. We just got it back on but many still don’t have it. I run an animal rescue and my kitties would have died if it weren’t for my oupes. The room was 90 degrees when I turned on the window ac unit that I had to go buy since I’m in central air This hurricane really pointed out the holes in my preps. I realize I need multiple solar generators to rotate and re-charge. Also that we go through a lot more water when you are dealing with 100 degree weather that included water for your pets too. Also the fact that once it’s dark out you are SO bored with no phone, no internet nothing! You just sit there twiddling your thumbs. Make sure you have books and cards and board games! What a nightmare but it could have been worse! Keep prepping Note: for those with gas generators let me just say no power no gas pumps and those that had their own generator the gas ran out after you sit in a line of 50 people to get 10 gallons (because they limit it)
Just get a duel fuel generator and store propane - much easier to store than gas. Cheap and I can store several large tanks in my shed, which could get me a week of usage, easily. I live in Alaska and we lose power fairly often, sometimes while it’s below zero outside. I’m going to get one of the battery systems as well, but not as a primary power source. It’ll be used to power items while my generator is shut down and I’ll recharge it by running my generator later on. Anyways, good luck with everything
I screwed up. In my effort to help and inspire my friend begin HER prepping journey, she instead decided that I am to be her contingency plan. She's 3 people and 2 cats. I'm 1 person and 2 cats. I've factored in enough food, water and preparation for MY household... not hers. It sucks that I now have to have a conversation about her being on her own. I'm on a major budget but am slowly building a good prep... but not enough for 3 additional people!!! What is she expecting... me to feed and water her household on my dime for 3 months!!!!
This is most likely a test. She needs to be told that she will have to carry her side of the responsibility for survival. She needs to self-assess and see what skills she brings to the table. Having a person to talk to and be observant when you are not able is an asset. Perhaps she has a large inventory of prescription drugs, alcohol, personal hygiene items, etc. that you do not have?
Perhaps you gave her the wrong impression and actually have much less preps than she thinks and it's entirely too little for your household let alone hers too.....hhmmmm???
There are so many things that can happen: weather, war in Ukraine/Middle East/or Taiwan, supply chain, cyber, disease, terrorists, many election-related possibilities every which way. Kris taught me not to prepare for any one threat or any one date, but to generally get ahead in prepping so that whatever happens I am better off. Also I have made prepping my hobby (bet it is for many of you too) so that I enjoy doing it and do not consider it a burden. Have a good weekend!
I’ve been watching your channel and prepping for a couple of years. We live in Sargent, TX which was the hardest hit town when Hurricane Beryl came ashore - pretty much a direct hir. Power just came back on 30 minutes ago. We’ve had water for a couple of days but under a boil order. Food trucks various entities (Red Cross, etc.) have only just arrived and started serving. People here have been hurting but due to our prep efforts, we were able to ride this out fairly comfortably - whole house generator for power, emergency water supplies for drinking/cooking and a year’s worth of canned and frozen food. Being prepared made the difference between being miserable and hungry and surviving in relative comfort. Thanks for your advice.
Having grown up in Florida, hurricanes are not new to me. However, seeing a storm like beryl this early in the season has my attention. I have 2 trips to the Gulf Coast area in a couple of months, so needless to say, it's got me on alert! Stay safe, folks. Best of luck to all!
We are halfway through the Solar Maximum that is disrupting Earth shields making small storms on the Sun causing Beryl. The people controlling the Earth Weather through HAARP can steer or enhance hurricaines. One large faction of voters want amoral unelected people in charge of Weather, Wars and info we need to survive the well in progress cyclical Polar shift. Why the h__l have we been bombing 3rd world Yemen every day or 15 years through both Parties. We sure have not made things better in Iraq, Syria, Libya etal that we "saved". No wonder they looked to Iran for help.
Beryl's eye went right over our home shortly after making landfall in TX. Thankfully our solar and Tesla Powerwall batteries kept us powered on for the two days we didn't have power. Thanks to your channel I have been making better preps for events like this.
@@rinamorgan8795 I have two powerwall 2 so they can output 10kw (5kw each). This ran my AC just fine set to 72 at night and 74 during the day. My AC pulls around 3.5kw when it's running. During the day my solar system powered my home and charged the batteries back up.
Other than the veggies and fruits in my garden I am not continuing to prep., just as well considering grocery prices, and I can easily shop at home now. Have enough to last half a decade, both food and goods. Don't want more in case I outlives me when I pop my clogs. I have been a mindful and frugal Prepper for many years, and am spending the money to pay for dental care in process at the School of Dentistry. Focused on personal fitness, and getting ready for a yard sale and taking books to sell at the used book store. Some think we should never stop prepping, but when one has dry foods in mylar, canned foods, and freeze dried as well as a fridge and freezer full. And, items necessary for everyday life. And, a DIY hydroponic system awaiting assembly, medicines and medical needs up to date, electric tools and manual, bicycles, electric bike, generators and solar panels, and RV sorted, sewing and carpentry needs, the means to make cleaning issue, camping gear and the like, think I'm covered. I'd like to have chickens but barely eat an egg or two occasionally and already have dried eggs, and other unmentioned items.
Im in Houston and just got hit by Hurricane Beryl, the third in my life as an adult. Thank you for your channel and helping me learn more to prep better for my family. I got into prepping about 15 years ago. When I found your channel a few years ago, it really helped me level up and think about things at a broader systematic level, from having more supplies and more tools, to having better plans and layouts and having skills to survive and function and replenish even after 6 months of shtf when stored supplies eventually run out. And always tryong to learn more and do better. We didnt get power back until the end of the 4th day luckily after hurricane beryl, many neighbors will enter day 5 with no power. Even though I bought my generator in 2021 after the houston snowstorm, and always tested it to make sure it worked and was ready every year leading up to this storm, and even thinking I was smart for buying a dual genereator that runs off of propane or gasoline, i learned that i didnt calculate how long it lasts. I learned a propane tank lasts about 6 hours, but pleasentaly i learned 8 gallons of unleaded gas lasts me about 14 hours on my 12 kw generator. Luckily I had 4 propane cans and about 35 gallons of gas.I also planned out putting it under my covered gazeebo 20+ feet away away from the house so it could run protected from weather but far enough away not to carbon monoxide poison anyone. Luckily we didnt have a boil notice, but i still stored 40 gallons of water in advance of the storm with 3 months of food. Im always trying to improve my plans and learn more. I often like tonrewatch your videos on the first 90 days of shtf to remoid and reinforce my prep updates.Thank you again for your channel. 19:13
On the TV news tonight, 800,000 people in Texas still without power. Institutions like nursing homes relying on generators for back up are starting to buckle due to mechanical failures and fuel shortages. The stress for these folks is crushing.
People shoot the PAN always stuck up on water and food. This happened in Texas. The other day, people lining up for lutons and tons of water not prepared this proves the point. Most people don't take anything seriously. You've got to stock up on food and prepare, keep your gas tanks full at all times most people are not doing that and this is the problem you'll have just like in Texas the other day.
CANT STORE GASOLINE AND EMP WILL TAKE OUT UNPROTECTED CIRCUITRY IN SOLAR GENERATOR IF THEY ARENT IN A FARADAY OR EMP PROOFED. ONE HIGH ALTITUDE AIR BURST EMP AND ITS GAME OVER....
Too many people are saying that about having someone else provide them with food, etc. After telling many people to prep...I give up. Have your $10 cups of coffee and don't ask me to take care of you is my response. Sad to be that way, but everyone needs to prepare for whatever we have to face. Loss of job, weather, wars, shortages, grid problems. Tragedies befall us all....
Staying level headed is always the best frame of mind to be in. The vast majority of the American public are blissfully unaware of how close we are to experiencing a dramatic change to life as we know it in these United States. Preppers don't want to be anywhere near major metropolitan areas when society collapses.
Ha ha ha ,, I like Chris and his channel , , But his geopolitics spiel is so much a failure . But since he is regurgitate American propaganda, Better send invoice for payments of services rendered . Imagine , even a amateur could do a better spiel . Just stay off American propaganda , you'll be respected. You tube is full of rebuttal of American propaganda .
I live and work in Houston. I’ve been planting prepping seeds to my employees (87EE) and we all faired well and continue to do well now even without power. The humidity and heat sucks, but we’re good
I’m in Florida. I’ve been through my share of hurricanes and power outages. As you know, the humidity makes the heat that much worse. One thing that helped surprisingly well for me was large containers of Damp Rid.
Thank you for everything, my husband has bone marrow cancer for 34 years and we live in eastern North Carolina, we try to be hurricane prepared every year. Thanks for everything
Ive been working on my health and diet i haven't seen a change but im hopeful that my changes will be the difference from making it out alive and dieing on the spot.
Kris, I appreciate all the research you do and the knowledge you share with us, as I view you as a trusted resource. Your info points me in the right direction if I want to do my own research about what is happening in the world. You are a blessing to all of us. I’m sorry this property fell through, I’m living vicariously through you, and praying for your success.
I started prepping to prepare for increasing weather events and the things that I have learned on this channel have helped me a lot. Thanks for what you do.
I appreciate your videos not being political. I'm probably the only existing liberal agnostic prepper and there are so many channels I just can't watch. I want to know what's going on in an unbiased manner, I want prep advice. I don't want a focus on any deity or president. I just want to know how to keep my family and my home safe if needed, that's it. So I really appreciate the unbiased information and knowledge.
So sorry about the property snag. It is hard when our excitement is driven into frustration. Attitude is everything, along with patience. Something is waiting out there.
I've been saving and waiting for a Jackery sale. My main priority is to run a mini fridge or electric cooler for more than 24 hours and the Jackery 2000 runs my electric cooler for 36 hours. I just bought mine at 43% off. I need to create a Faraday cage for it asap. Keeping food cold and avoiding food poisoning is crucial for me.
We just moved into a two story home...I was literally thinking yesterday that I need to consider getting an escape ladder! Thanks so much for what you do! I am brand new to getting prepared, and I appreciate your content! 😊 God bless!
I have a jacket but it is a small one. I wish I could have a bigger one but living in Cali is not easy. Working two jobs and still trying to take care of my mother is difficult. But in God I shall live and survive. God bless every prepper and those beginning to prepper.
I am from Houston Texas yes we were out of power for a few days. I started to see what was needed for out homes. We got generator and battery before I knew it here come the storm. Didn't even have the generator out of box. What I learned got to perpare for the house to be very Hot 🔥 🥵. It was 90 degrees and people houses were 100 degrees.
I truly appreciate these type of videos. Lol they remind me of the old TV series “Dragnet” - ‘ facts, just the facts’. Thank you for the information w/out the hype.
Still need to get a solar generator but I'm dragging my feet. Our bedrooms are on the top floor and 2 are accessible to the porch roof but 2 are not. One step at a time. A 30 pound weight loss would be great for me too!
Oh man, I’m bummed for you guys but things always work out how they’re suppose to! It’s out there!! Thanks for the updates and as always appreciate your channel 😊
This video will go down as one of my favorites, thanks for the helpful information and all the hard work you put in to getting us aware of the dangers the future could bring.
We live in Houston and I'm now following this channel and others as a result of Beryl. We've been lucky in past storms and either havent been without power long or at all. However, now we have a 2 year old son and we lost power for 3 days. Last time I want to deal with that - starting out with an Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra that should be here next week along with a 400W solar panel (for now we want to keep the fridge up, a small ac unit or heater and other small appliances). I plan to expand more this year or next because it's just a matter of when we have another loss of power and not if. This channel and others have helped lean me in that direction.
Living in South Louisiana I’m no stranger to hurricane season. Kind of just part of our way of life here for those few months each year. Appreciate all you do Kris. Been subscribed for years now and always like your points of view and readiness. Take care God Bless!
Things are only going to get worse but very few people realize it. The worst place to live, in my opinion, is the West coast. Not only because of the fires, but because they are literally running out of water
A couple of years ago, I watched almost the entire snow cap melt off of Mt. Rainier in a week. Most people seemed oblivious, and I was watching with the knowledge that that snow cap is our water and electricity. It was pretty frightening.
So, here’s an interesting question. Running out of water? Then why did Phoenix approve building if 2 huge Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing facilities - each of which use nearly a TRILLION gallons of water per year to create these semiconductors? Why would you build it where there is a water crisis? Any chance that all of it will fall apart when they run out of water? 🤔 Or is it possible that the water crisis isn’t as serious as the climate hawks scream?
It's going to continue to get worse for Americans until Americans put a end to the foreign owned and run Washington DC criminal enterprise taking every penny they can steal, put Americans in debt for to fund Washington DC and israels wars, bullying ,invading other country's. The majority of Americans I don't think can comprehend why America is being invaded at the rate it is today,last few years. It's because Washington DC and israel stepped up their invasions, slaughter of foreigners, theft of land, bullying,invading of other country's. It's embarrassing to me to hear other Americans saying things like all those Palestinians, muslims need to go back home when the only reason most are here is because israel had Washington DC bring them here as refugees while they invade their countrys. Americans that's crying over muslims, Palestinians fighting back against the invasion of their country by Washington DC, israel while they do nothing but whine while America is invaded. It literally turns my stomach. The houthis wouldn't be attacking those ships if not for what Washington DC and israel is doing. Americans are suffering because of the traitors, democrats and Republicans in Washington DC and israel. That's a fact
Weather is a huge concern where I am. We have had very little rain this year. My grass has turned brown and my garden struggles. I have a very deep ditch by the road where I was hoping to get water when the time came but with no rain that can't happen.
Howdy again from the SE suburbs of Houston. We lost power for 13 hours when Beryl hit (the 5 am wake up call no one wanted) and then again *today* for a few more hours just from a brief heavy rain! The infrastructure here is a joke. Many surrounding neighborhoods have been without electricity since day one in the boiling heat. My best friend finally gave up and retreated to visit family in New Orleans. You *know* it's bad when you have to evacuate to a place that's 8 ft below sea level. So many people wrote off preparing for this storm because it was "just a Category 1". Now they're cropping up on NextDoor with conspiracy theories that it was actually a higher level and "we were lied to" lol. I'm relieved to say our worst damage was a fallen tree that took out part of the back fence. If you can, it's better to be over-prepared. Stay informed and stay safe, y'all.
We live in Southwest georgia, and definitely watching out for hurricanes. Never dreamed one would come up to the middle of Georgia, yet hurricane Michael made it in October 2018 severe damage on the outside and lost a portion of our roof in the process. Now we watch every move the weather makes.😮
Northern Indiana we receive 8+ inches. We did sandbags around our basement windows. Worked well. Our area is a flood zone. The city refuses to put in a wider storm drain. The street drains down to our end and floods our cul de sac.. so thru all of our issues in our end of the street (electric, water system, the city won’t address the issues) , we have learned to plan .
Thanks for another great video Kris! You have to trust that when a property sale falls through it's for the best and something better will come along. You'll find the perfect place soon! See if you can find one that you can put a beaver bog around to protect you from wildfires!!😊
Came here to the CP channel to see if there was any commentary on yesterday’s assassination attempt. Scary times we’re living in. Looking forward to hearing Kris’s level-headed opinion and advice on this.
Houston Texas has a huge problem that is rather unsolvable because of the low terrain and well as multiple rivers converging in the city, so they flood seriously without let alone with a hurricane. I truly feel for the residents.
It is almost as bad as New Orleans and the government and utilities companies neglect the infrastructure on top of that, making it a perfect storm type situation. Electricity should not have been off for this long due to a cat one hurricane. It is unbelievable. Centerpoint Energy has enabled this fiasco by their mismanagement of resources and emoloyees and monetary greed. But we wont hear much about that. Instead it will be blamed on climate. A category one, folks!!
Good advice about staying up-to-date with natural disasters even if you they aren't local to you. I was camping with my daughter earlier this week in central Ontario, Canada when we were hit with continuous heavy rain falls (remains of Beryl) that flooded our camping site. Far from life-threatening, but definitely a lesson learned.
You'll end up with the best property, because you have followed the golden rule when negotiating: always be ready to walk away if necessary. A better one will opossum up.
In college I took an Environmental Geology course. What I learned: don’t live on the coast, a fault line, a flood plain, a river or a volcano. Evaluate your risk and prep accordingly.
Not me watching this right after finishing up seeing the news on Trump and laughing about how he says “I’m not saying something is going to happen tomorrow.”
Thanks for the updates Chris. I think we shpuld be worried about everything going on in the world. We as the USA need to keep our noses out of these conflicts and stsy home. We need to start taking care of our own.
We live a world where natural disasters are more frequent and lots stronger. Don't depend on the government. As to Beryl, it cooled things in Virginia.
My prayers go out to those affected by the hurricane, but it also was a blessing to me. Now my wife agrees we need to have a generator, gas or solar as a back up.

Why the h__l have we been bombing 3rd world Yemen every day or 15 years through both Parties. We sure have not made things better in Iraq, Syria, Libya etal that we "saved". No wonder they looked to Iran for help.
Central fl changing oil on generator today !
Beryl's eye went right over our home shortly after making landfall in TX. Thankfully our solar and Tesla Powerwall batteries kept us powered on for the two days we didn't have power. Thanks to your channel I have been making better preps for events like this.
Glad someone lives in an area that can actually utilize those systems
Hey neighbor, just curious what your AC situation was like with that setup. Because running fans and taking cold showers ain't it lol.
@@rinamorgan8795 I have two powerwall 2 so they can output 10kw (5kw each). This ran my AC just fine set to 72 at night and 74 during the day. My AC pulls around 3.5kw when it's running. During the day my solar system powered my home and charged the batteries back up.
Great job!
Doing inventory to see what holes need to be filled. Ongoing project, omg.
Still prepping after all of these years.
I read that in Paul Simon's voice.
Other than the veggies and fruits in my garden I am not continuing to prep., just as well considering grocery prices, and I can easily shop at home now. Have enough to last half a decade, both food and goods. Don't want more in case I outlives me when I pop my clogs. I have been a mindful and frugal Prepper for many years, and am spending the money to pay for dental care in process at the School of Dentistry. Focused on personal fitness, and getting ready for a yard sale and taking books to sell at the used book store. Some think we should never stop prepping, but when one has dry foods in mylar, canned foods, and freeze dried as well as a fridge and freezer full. And, items necessary for everyday life. And, a DIY hydroponic system awaiting assembly, medicines and medical needs up to date, electric tools and manual, bicycles, electric bike, generators and solar panels, and RV sorted, sewing and carpentry needs, the means to make cleaning issue, camping gear and the like, think I'm covered. I'd like to have chickens but barely eat an egg or two occasionally and already have dried eggs, and other unmentioned items.
Im in Houston and just got hit by Hurricane Beryl, the third in my life as an adult. Thank you for your channel and helping me learn more to prep better for my family. I got into prepping about 15 years ago. When I found your channel a few years ago, it really helped me level up and think about things at a broader systematic level, from having more supplies and more tools, to having better plans and layouts and having skills to survive and function and replenish even after 6 months of shtf when stored supplies eventually run out. And always tryong to learn more and do better. We didnt get power back until the end of the 4th day luckily after hurricane beryl, many neighbors will enter day 5 with no power. Even though I bought my generator in 2021 after the houston snowstorm, and always tested it to make sure it worked and was ready every year leading up to this storm, and even thinking I was smart for buying a dual genereator that runs off of propane or gasoline, i learned that i didnt calculate how long it lasts. I learned a propane tank lasts about 6 hours, but pleasentaly i learned 8 gallons of unleaded gas lasts me about 14 hours on my 12 kw generator. Luckily I had 4 propane cans and about 35 gallons of gas.I also planned out putting it under my covered gazeebo 20+ feet away away from the house so it could run protected from weather but far enough away not to carbon monoxide poison anyone. Luckily we didnt have a boil notice, but i still stored 40 gallons of water in advance of the storm with 3 months of food. Im always trying to improve my plans and learn more. I often like tonrewatch your videos on the first 90 days of shtf to remoid and reinforce my prep updates.Thank you again for your channel. 19:13
On the TV news tonight, 800,000 people in Texas still without power. Institutions like nursing homes relying on generators for back up are starting to buckle due to mechanical failures and fuel shortages. The stress for these folks is crushing.
Looks like a test run for the rest of us.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Pathetic
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for the people of Texas suffering from the effects of the hurricane.
thank you Chris! May God Bless our Community and your Families. Stay alert
Prayers for the perfect timing and the perfect property!!!
People shoot the PAN always stuck up on water and food. This happened in Texas. The other day, people lining up for lutons and tons of water not prepared this proves the point. Most people don't take anything seriously. You've got to stock up on food and prepare, keep your gas tanks full at all times most people are not doing that and this is the problem you'll have just like in Texas the other day.
CANT STORE GASOLINE AND EMP WILL TAKE OUT UNPROTECTED CIRCUITRY IN SOLAR GENERATOR IF THEY ARENT IN A FARADAY OR EMP PROOFED. ONE HIGH ALTITUDE AIR BURST EMP AND ITS GAME OVER....
Too many people are saying that about having someone else provide them with food, etc. After telling many people to prep...I give up. Have your $10 cups of coffee and don't ask me to take care of you is my response. Sad to be that way, but everyone needs to prepare for whatever we have to face. Loss of job, weather, wars, shortages, grid problems. Tragedies befall us all....
Staying level headed is always the best frame of mind to be in. The vast majority of the American public are blissfully unaware of how close we are to experiencing a dramatic change to life as we know it in these United States. Preppers don't want to be anywhere near major metropolitan areas when society collapses.
Your candid, impartial & thorough reporting is always appreciated.
Ha ha ha ,,
I like Chris and his channel , ,
But his geopolitics spiel is so much a failure .
But since he is regurgitate American propaganda,
Better send invoice for payments of services rendered .
Imagine , even a amateur could do a better spiel .
Just stay off American propaganda , you'll be respected.
You tube is full of rebuttal of American propaganda .
I live and work in Houston. I’ve been planting prepping seeds to my employees (87EE) and we all faired well and continue to do well now even without power. The humidity and heat sucks, but we’re good
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😀💕🌸
I’m in Florida. I’ve been through my share of hurricanes and power outages. As you know, the humidity makes the heat that much worse. One thing that helped surprisingly well for me was large containers of Damp Rid.
In Houston and lost power for 3 days. Was very prepared compared to others but learned where we fell shorter than we liked.
Every experience is a great teacher. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for everything, my husband has bone marrow cancer for 34 years and we live in eastern North Carolina, we try to be hurricane prepared every year. Thanks for everything
Ive been working on my health and diet i haven't seen a change but im hopeful that my changes will be the difference from making it out alive and dieing on the spot.
I can GUARANTEE it will increase your odds. Guarantee it.
Thank you for keeping us updated
Kris, I appreciate all the research you do and the knowledge you share with us, as I view you as a trusted resource. Your info points me in the right direction if I want to do my own research about what is happening in the world. You are a blessing to all of us. I’m sorry this property fell through, I’m living vicariously through you, and praying for your success.
Seeing Beryl's after-effects causing tornados all the way up in NY is pretty crazy
Beryl spawned 117 tornadoes in one day per NWS
I started prepping to prepare for increasing weather events and the things that I have learned on this channel have helped me a lot. Thanks for what you do.
I appreciate your videos not being political. I'm probably the only existing liberal agnostic prepper and there are so many channels I just can't watch. I want to know what's going on in an unbiased manner, I want prep advice. I don't want a focus on any deity or president. I just want to know how to keep my family and my home safe if needed, that's it. So I really appreciate the unbiased information and knowledge.
👍👍
You are not alone.
Not alone!
We have been wanting a second story ladder!
Thank you for keeping these news segments going, Kris. They are my favorite!
Thanks for this good reminder. We can only rely on ourselves, in the long run.
With the number of problems that we face stacking up, I am REALLY glad I found this channel, thanks for the info as always.
So sorry about the property snag. It is hard when our excitement is driven into frustration. Attitude is everything, along with patience. Something is waiting out there.
I've been saving and waiting for a Jackery sale. My main priority is to run a mini fridge or electric cooler for more than 24 hours and the Jackery 2000 runs my electric cooler for 36 hours. I just bought mine at 43% off. I need to create a Faraday cage for it asap. Keeping food cold and avoiding food poisoning is crucial for me.
Thanks again for all the great updates Kris. You have an awesome way of presenting information to us. Thanks.
We just moved into a two story home...I was literally thinking yesterday that I need to consider getting an escape ladder! Thanks so much for what you do! I am brand new to getting prepared, and I appreciate your content! 😊 God bless!
Love these news update vids - Great info!!
I have a jacket but it is a small one. I wish I could have a bigger one but living in Cali is not easy. Working two jobs and still trying to take care of my mother is difficult. But in God I shall live and survive. God bless every prepper and those beginning to prepper.
So many things to keep us on our toes. Living in Florida means that being prepared is something people need to keep updated and on going.
Thanks Kris!
Thank you for all the hard work you do to help prepare so many of us! It is greatly appreciated
I appreciate all of the condensed updates that you provide. Thank you!!!
I am from Houston Texas yes we were out of power for a few days. I started to see what was needed for out homes. We got generator and battery before I knew it here come the storm. Didn't even have the generator out of box. What I learned got to perpare for the house to be very Hot 🔥 🥵. It was 90 degrees and people houses were 100 degrees.
It's taking so much effort to stay focused and positive. Thank you for good intel
I truly appreciate these type of videos. Lol they remind me of the old TV series “Dragnet” - ‘ facts, just the facts’.
Thank you for the information w/out the hype.
Thanks. Appreciate your on-going assessments.
Seems like things are only getting worse as the months go by. Scary stuff indeed.
So wise , Thank You . We Must Stay viligente
Another great video of truth..
Still need to get a solar generator but I'm dragging my feet. Our bedrooms are on the top floor and 2 are accessible to the porch roof but 2 are not. One step at a time. A 30 pound weight loss would be great for me too!
The challenges are because we've been gaslighted
You can’t be gaslit if you know you’re being gaslit.
Oh man, I’m bummed for you guys but things always work out how they’re suppose to! It’s out there!! Thanks for the updates and as always appreciate your channel 😊
This video will go down as one of my favorites, thanks for the helpful information and all the hard work you put in to getting us aware of the dangers the future could bring.
Great job on your self heath journey. Without your heath, life is meaningless ( or even worse, no there at all ). Keep up the good work.
We live in Houston and I'm now following this channel and others as a result of Beryl. We've been lucky in past storms and either havent been without power long or at all. However, now we have a 2 year old son and we lost power for 3 days. Last time I want to deal with that - starting out with an Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra that should be here next week along with a 400W solar panel (for now we want to keep the fridge up, a small ac unit or heater and other small appliances). I plan to expand more this year or next because it's just a matter of when we have another loss of power and not if. This channel and others have helped lean me in that direction.
Living in South Louisiana I’m no stranger to hurricane season. Kind of just part of our way of life here for those few months each year. Appreciate all you do Kris. Been subscribed for years now and always like your points of view and readiness. Take care God Bless!
Thabk you for these videos.
SO grateful for these updates! I feel like I live under a rock.
Great video, Kris! I’m so impressed how calm you are.
Gulf Coast is always a struggle. I not financially able too. Yes I was on my own without water electricity 2 days.
I just need two more weeks and all will be done. I can lock the gate.
Congratulations, well done
We need a plan B, C and D the way things are going
Things are only going to get worse but very few people realize it. The worst place to live, in my opinion, is the West coast. Not only because of the fires, but because they are literally running out of water
A couple of years ago, I watched almost the entire snow cap melt off of Mt. Rainier in a week. Most people seemed oblivious, and I was watching with the knowledge that that snow cap is our water and electricity. It was pretty frightening.
Is that why we just came out of a drought?
(I agree that the Left Coast will have it bad, but it isn't because of water.)
So, here’s an interesting question. Running out of water? Then why did Phoenix approve building if 2 huge Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing facilities - each of which use nearly a TRILLION gallons of water per year to create these semiconductors? Why would you build it where there is a water crisis? Any chance that all of it will fall apart when they run out of water? 🤔 Or is it possible that the water crisis isn’t as serious as the climate hawks scream?
It's going to continue to get worse for Americans until Americans put a end to the foreign owned and run Washington DC criminal enterprise taking every penny they can steal, put Americans in debt for to fund Washington DC and israels wars, bullying ,invading other country's. The majority of Americans I don't think can comprehend why America is being invaded at the rate it is today,last few years. It's because Washington DC and israel stepped up their invasions, slaughter of foreigners, theft of land, bullying,invading of other country's. It's embarrassing to me to hear other Americans saying things like all those Palestinians, muslims need to go back home when the only reason most are here is because israel had Washington DC bring them here as refugees while they invade their countrys. Americans that's crying over muslims, Palestinians fighting back against the invasion of their country by Washington DC, israel while they do nothing but whine while America is invaded. It literally turns my stomach. The houthis wouldn't be attacking those ships if not for what Washington DC and israel is doing. Americans are suffering because of the traitors, democrats and Republicans in Washington DC and israel. That's a fact
@@deniselogan2733Stupidity, which has been weaponized and become rampant.
Thank you to the City Prepping team. A lot going on in the world today.
Horrible news on the property. I look forward to what’s next!
Good Video Kris. Thanks for the well thought out analysis.
Enjoy your videos!
Weather is a huge concern where I am. We have had very little rain this year. My grass has turned brown and my garden struggles. I have a very deep ditch by the road where I was hoping to get water when the time came but with no rain that can't happen.
Howdy again from the SE suburbs of Houston. We lost power for 13 hours when Beryl hit (the 5 am wake up call no one wanted) and then again *today* for a few more hours just from a brief heavy rain! The infrastructure here is a joke. Many surrounding neighborhoods have been without electricity since day one in the boiling heat. My best friend finally gave up and retreated to visit family in New Orleans. You *know* it's bad when you have to evacuate to a place that's 8 ft below sea level. So many people wrote off preparing for this storm because it was "just a Category 1". Now they're cropping up on NextDoor with conspiracy theories that it was actually a higher level and "we were lied to" lol. I'm relieved to say our worst damage was a fallen tree that took out part of the back fence. If you can, it's better to be over-prepared. Stay informed and stay safe, y'all.
"just a category 1 ". If people would just do a minimum amount of preparation they would be in a better situation. Weather is always unpredictable.
We live in Southwest georgia, and definitely watching out for hurricanes. Never dreamed one would come up to the middle of Georgia, yet hurricane Michael made it in October 2018 severe damage on the outside and lost a portion of our roof in the process. Now we watch every move the weather makes.😮
Northern Indiana we receive 8+ inches. We did sandbags around our basement windows. Worked well. Our area is a flood zone. The city refuses to put in a wider storm drain. The street drains down to our end and floods our cul de sac.. so thru all of our issues in our end of the street (electric, water system, the city won’t address the issues) , we have learned to plan .
Thank you for the news we need to hear!
I appreciate all of the updates
Thanks for the update!!!! and sorry about the setback.
Thanks for another great video Kris! You have to trust that when a property sale falls through it's for the best and something better will come along. You'll find the perfect place soon! See if you can find one that you can put a beaver bog around to protect you from wildfires!!😊
Thx very much Chris. Your demeanor is comforting in this craziness.
Good points and information. Keep up with your great work 🎉
Came here to the CP channel to see if there was any commentary on yesterday’s assassination attempt. Scary times we’re living in. Looking forward to hearing Kris’s level-headed opinion and advice on this.
Will do this Tuesday
Houston Texas has a huge problem that is rather unsolvable because of the low terrain and well as multiple rivers converging in the city, so they flood seriously without let alone with a hurricane. I truly feel for the residents.
It is almost as bad as New Orleans and the government and utilities companies neglect the infrastructure on top of that, making it a perfect storm type situation. Electricity should not have been off for this long due to a cat one hurricane. It is unbelievable. Centerpoint Energy has enabled this fiasco by their mismanagement of resources and emoloyees and monetary greed. But we wont hear much about that. Instead it will be blamed on climate. A category one, folks!!
Even worse, Texas' lack of regulation means every flood covers the city with 6 feet of toxic chemicals.
Houston dumps toxins every flood.
It's True but it is Texas. They want to go at it alone.
@@chumps7974true we reject the satanic globohomo agenda.
Good advice about staying up-to-date with natural disasters even if you they aren't local to you. I was camping with my daughter earlier this week in central Ontario, Canada when we were hit with continuous heavy rain falls (remains of Beryl) that flooded our camping site. Far from life-threatening, but definitely a lesson learned.
You'll end up with the best property, because you have followed the golden rule when negotiating: always be ready to walk away if necessary. A better one will opossum up.
Thank you for these videos.
Thank you for keeping us up to date!
With the world in so much chaos, I appreciate your information and explanation of all of these.
"I'm not suggesting something radical is going to happen tomorrow."
Wow... and then something did the very next day 😲
💀
Your reporting is much appreciated. I’ve stepped away from news for a while, but it’s important to be informed. Thanks!
In college I took an Environmental Geology course. What I learned: don’t live on the coast, a fault line, a flood plain, a river or a volcano. Evaluate your risk and prep accordingly.
Not me watching this right after finishing up seeing the news on Trump and laughing about how he says “I’m not saying something is going to happen tomorrow.”
Where did he say this?
Thanks for the updates Chris. I think we shpuld be worried about everything going on in the world. We as the USA need to keep our noses out of these conflicts and stsy home. We need to start taking care of our own.
It's sad but we definitely have to prep this world has so many things I can go wrong so fast
Another excellent and well timed video, thanks. A 2nd story ladder sounds like an excellent idea!
Thanks for the update. Okay with the Jackery ad too.
Thank you for the information.
Thank you, Kris. I appreciate your level headed insight on this.
I bought my first Jackery this week, thank you for the recommendation. I appreciate your videos!
We live a world where natural disasters are more frequent and lots stronger. Don't depend on the government. As to Beryl, it cooled things in Virginia.
My prayers go out to those affected by the hurricane, but it also was a blessing to me. Now my wife agrees we need to have a generator, gas or solar as a back up.
Thanks for your insight on current topics. After surviving Beryl while vacationing in Grenada I think my son's family will prepare more.
