Preppers’ PING!
Post the story on radiation while you’re at it. :)
There is nothing new or surprising in this post and its supporting articles.
I have lived in Florida since 1949 and have ridden out many hurricanes. As a result, I have a hurricane preparation checklist that I run every May just as the local governments and military bases have their hurricane exercise.
My personal checklist assumes no outside deliveries of anything for 3 to 7 days. It also assumes that the electrical grid goes down for at least a week. While I know my plans are for just a week to 10 days and represent only a fraction of what I could (will?) see in a larger systemic collapse at least I have an idea.
Want to see what happens when there is systemic no prior planning to prevent pi** poor performance? Look no farther than New Orleans and Hurricane Katerina. Then multiply it by two to four orders of magnitude (times 100 to 10,00 times).
