What if it was a solar flare? Your only ‘safe’ place would be deep underground.[/quote]
If there is anything at all…I would place bets on “solar flare”. The electricity went off in our building last week. You should have seen the level of “panic”.
Most people would be screwed in a world that experienced that on a large scale. When that hurricane came through Houston a few years back, people didn’t even have food to eat initially because everything was closed and no electricity worked. I remember gaining weight during those two weeks because I had to eat all of the steaks I had stored up frozen.
Any longer than 2 weeks and I would have been screwed too.
I know some here love to laugh all of this off though.[/quote]
And that was bad. But you and everyone else had hope and faith that it would pass. That help would come, people would FIX the problems or just simply go back to work. Electricians, doctors, police etc, but if we are told that all HOPE is gone.
What then? Most would be beyond screwed. I’m thinking a lighter version of the original Mad Max.

That’s the thing. I was only prepared for that because I cook in bulk and store my food. The average person doesn’t do that…and would be completely out of food within a week. With all stores closed or ransacked, if you didn’t know how to steal more food or hunt, what then?
At times like that, even being around other large groups of people is a risk because if you have something others need, you will have to fight for it.
I had someone break into my garage during that hurricane to steal my gas. What will happen after week two when they need everything else?[/quote]
If anything occurs, I assure you than even those living in rural areas wont be much better. I live about 30mi from a large city but once a calamity hits of the type we speak of, those who can get out of the city will swarm the countrysides.
