I don't expect to kill any...because I don't expect a breakdown of society. Or at least nothing like what the worst case scenario types on this forum are predicting.

To think that once things start to break down everybody will be on their own is quite pessimistic. Most people outside the big cities are not savages. I get the feeling a number of people on this forum are hoping for a big breakdown...the better to shoot people.

Your opinion is noted. Mine is based on the experience of *Hurricane Elvis* in Memphis in the Summer of 2003, during which city power was not restored for 45 days. That's 45 nights with the lights out, as well.

If it hadn't still been raining quite a bit, there'd have been more fires. Neither did it help that one tree in three, some over a century old, came out by the roots and blocked streets.

Memphis is also a city with a large feral population. Where I live there's just about none.

Will some sectors of the country have feral mobs running around killing and looting? Definitely. They do that now.

But I like said, the three most important things as far as disaster are: location, location, location.
