You were immediately correct about that 'expert' thing.

I lived in Palm Beach County the year after Hurricane Wilma. Wilma took out the power through the most populated part of the county. It also destroyed the cable and telephone lines. If your local gas station had gasoline, power, and a computer hook-up, you could buy gas after you waited on line for two or three hours. My boss thought this was hilarious because he quickly learned that if he drove 20 miles north of West Palm Beach City, he could buy all the gas he wanted in Jupiter in northern Palm Beach County.

The overwhelming majority never once listened to the radio to figure out that they could drive for half an hour and buy whatever they wanted. They sat on their hands and waited for someone to fix it for them.

IMO, 35 miles is far enough that it won’t even occur to most of the city people to go there.

I should have put “experts” in quotes, as evidenced by the reply from an “expert”.

The ferals will be quickly ‘consumed’. It is the gangs, who are organizations with many tentacles, to watch out for. They will be coming in squads, and armed well.

Most rural police know they will never get all of someone's stuff. There are just too many places on a farm to stash things. They know they'd be lucky to make it past the mailbox if they turned on those they swore to protect.

A County Sheriff in Western ND once said, "I'm not afraid of some gang banger with an AK-47 spraying and praying. I'd be more afraid of a pissed off farmer with a deer rifle, because he is going to hit what he shoots at the first time."

That statement was in reply to a question about the Assault Weapons Ban when Clinton was in office. I supported him for Sheriff, have never regretted that, and he has been Sheriff since.

I think the chances are good the authorities will end up searching for hoarders.

I see lots of unfilled job openings.
