During the TMI nuclear plant incident, when I lived near there, the first ones to beat it out of town were the health care professionals. They knew exactly what the dangers were.
I followed them out on the next day.
By the third day, all the ATMs were out of cash; all the gas stations were out of gas, etc.
So I have an idea about what is coming next.
I lived east of TMI at the time, so everyone in the community was glued to their TV’S , we would have been in “the outer Zone” had it melted down...but it was enough for all to be ready if they had to move fast. Everyone had their own idea of when they’d bug out.
