I think that the "advice" we are getting is not even compatible with a Minneapolis, or even a Midwestern, climate. Heat exchanges and ventilation systems in houses in our area need a free flow of air. Strangling them with plastic could be dangerous. Other advice has included statements such as "go to a windowless room" (I don't have one) and "turn off the furnace" (yeah, right!).
The advice of more level-headed medical experts seems to be: stock up on a three-day supply of food and water (this I did at Sentyrz and Holy Land), keep a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and a first aid kit ready, and set up a system of communicating to family members in the wake of an attack. Remembering the tornadoes from my childhood, I think it's a good idea to always do this. I am troubled, however, at the government's rush to air this latest Bin Laden tape when the previous ones were censored because they allegedly were "codes to sleeper cells."
