I’m already ‘up and out’ but anyone who isn’t had better be making plans and fast. The big cities will be total hell after just 12-36 hours of the ‘lights going out’.
It will take a little longer to reach real mayhem in the big cities. When the cell towers and internet stop, folks dependent upon government will be waiting for momma to get everything back ‘up’. Let the power stay off for three or four days and the feral gangs will be roaming the streets, THEN the mayhem will hit with a slam to the senses. It will not take long for all trucking to cease to enter the cities and the hungry dependents to spill into the burbs, raiding.
