As Hurricane Lane made its way to the Hawaiian Islands like an angry, yet exhausted snail, the local news was actively reminding us how to prepare for the worst. The screen projected the crowds heading to Costco in order to load up on the recommended two-week supply of possible provisions needed.
Upon looking a little more closely at the tv, I noticed the guy they were filming inside the warehouse was loading his cart up with bulk supplies of Kool Aid, a HUGE box of the fruity powder mix in his cart while apparently preparing for a hurricane. He did slightly resemble Jim Jones, but I'm fairly certain he died in the late 70's, so I digress.
Now, there's a lot of things I don't understand about people, but I just couldn't grasp his decision-making skills when planning for survival. Or perhaps I just haven't given Kool Aid a fair chance, but I couldn't stop laughing at even just the news reporter's decision to use that clip to help people prepare for the worst.
Always amazes me what people think is important in an event like a hurricane
