The Icelandic depression as I see it

Things are getting pretty scary, which makes me so thankful there is a God and that He loves me and leads me today. My parents being as prepared as they always are, told me the other day that they were going to be getting their food storage in order. They incouraged me to do the same, which I did, and am now so glad I did. Bónus, one of the main "supermarkets" here in Iceland just announced that there is most likely going to be food shortage in Iceland since they cannot get foreight currency to pay for goods. More than one Bank is in serious trouble. The one I do business with was one of them but is apparently safe now. One bank was flooded with people today who wanted to take out their savings, according to the online news. Supposedly there will be no gas on the island after the weekend, which means we are headed back to the 18hundreds. At Ikea today most of the furniture is either "being ordered" or you have to talk to an employee to find out if they can get the item or not.
