Good choice of topic! Be sure to hyperlink correctly and you only commented once.
I think you just have to pack the things you need to survive in case you have no way to transport or communicate anywhere or with anyone. You would also need to mentally prepare for this knowing that this could be pretty severe and dangerous.
I would stock the pantry and buy extra blankets and then some to prepare for the magnitude of the storm this large! I think the city did the right thing by shutting everything down, better than to be extra safe than sorry. I think the damage from the storm will really effect the city and electricity the most, which will really put the city in danger.
I would stay inside and bundle up
The first thing I would do is to shut anything down that would make it easy for people to travel. Have the people of the city make extra precautions and have the necessary supplies to survive being snowed in for awhile. The main thing I would be worried about in big cities is the destruction of the cities power lines and there residents belonging.
In cities, I wouldn't be worried about power lines because in cities, they are mostly underground, and even if they did break, in the city, people who can fix them are usually not far away, so they won't be broke for very long.
Prepare by shutting down public transport, tell everyone to make sure they have everything they might need for several days of not driving anywhere, and have police out making sure people take shelter. I think it will do damage by causing power lines to fall down, and caving in roofs, and causing some car wrecks unfortunately.
I would have power generators, water, ways to get food. I think if people do what they should then their shouldn't be many casualties but a lot of non-human damage.
i agree people should start taking precautions right way and stocking up on supplies
This is just a bunch crap they predict this huge storm but in the end there probably only get about 5 inches and they'll all be fine. I mean lets have them come to iowa and deal with some of are winter, then after it snows a foot go out and feed your livestock most of um wil be peeing down there leg. Damage whys theyll probably be a couple down power lines nothin to fuss over we have it all the time were i live,
