1. Have you ever experienced ahurricane cyclone firsthand?
2. Have you ever experienced outside heat over100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celcius) 40°C?
Sure, most summers if not all of them. Perth does this regularly. The highest was 46.2^C back in '92.
3. When and where was the coldest temperature you have ever experienced?
4. Is your household prepared for a possible power outage of two to seven days?
Pretty well. I have an outside barbecue, plenty of wood, a pond (which would need something done to the water to clean it) and a lot of matches. Freezer storage is minimal but food supplies could stretch to a week or more. I can see myself going vegetarian.

Yes, but it needs better supplying. At the moment it's basically the documents and a first aid kit. As Fred says, in most situations I'm better off to survive in place.
