Today's episode focuses on disasters, which is unfortunately a very appropriate topic. As a quick refresher, our family had a fire a few months ago. It sucked. I talked about the day of the fire in this episode then did a "how do we get back on the grid?" episode here and then answered some of your FAQs here.
