I'd be far more concerned about Germany telling citizens to stockpile for 'civil defence': http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-37155060 Anyways, as per the earthquake it's tragic. The incident happened 2 days ago though, western coverage has been minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive-By Body Pierce Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 All this talk has got me a bit worried... so I have started my stockpile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Certainly tragic but it's a part of the world traditionally active with seismic activity (eathquakes, volcanoes) with hundreds years old buildings. That's a recipe for disaster waiting to happen. My thoughts to all the victims and their families. Looks horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see the look on your guys face as you watch all that emergency earthquake beer seep out into the concrete because glass is known to shatter during an earthquake.

I never had a beer in my life so you won this round, but you might want to half those stacks as liquid in compressed cans isn't that much more durable!

TheRussianRocket. Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Happened a couple days ago. Got family there. Thankfully they are ok and didn't get effected as much as others did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score one for the Devil's lettuce. Foam insulation spray to fill the boxes. Dampens the vibration, and helps to keep them nice and chilly for when the refrigerator goes MIA.
