LMC Disaster Prep
The looming arrival of more offspring triggered new flooring, renovation of the lauundry room/pantry into a home office, and movement of the Future ROTC Scholarship Recipient into the room over the garage to make room for the baby. Mrs. LMC was chatting up the electrician who moved the dryer outlet to the garage, got a quote to install a junction box for the generator, and $750 later, it is ready to go. Now in the event of some disaster, wheel out the Generac, plug it in, and away we go. Of course, this means a hurricane will not strike the Virginia Beach area for at least another twenty years.

The officer who posed the question, indicated I had given the correct answer, citing My Lai as the example.
