>>What do YOU think are the primary scenarios?<<

You list almost all natural disasters (adjusted for locale). Which I have said over and over and over are a good reason to do gardening, know how to hunt, etc. etc. etc. I know how to plant I know how to hunt. I could survive that way if I had to. But it would be survival as opposed to living.

FWIIW, Tornadic winds would probably mess the garden up, but a tornado might hop past and having a garden would be great to help the neighbors.

>>Socio-economic displacement of urban/suburban free-lance socialists? Possible. Somewhat probable.<<

That statement makes no sense no matter how much I try to parse it. If all the socialists were to leave the cities, then said cities would thrive.

Most Americans, socialist or not, live in cities or suburbs.

Let me break it down. A 'free-lance socialist' is a thug with a gun, may or may not have a criminal record, and tries to avoid the government as middleman on stealing from the rich (me) and giving to the poor(him).

'Socio-economic displacement' is food not getting to Wal-Mart on day 5, and the FSL heading toward the suburbs. Did you see the videos of the tramplings recently in a Wal-Mart?

And to your final point, most people in the cities died, back in 1348-1350. Sucks to be urban/suburban.

We're not immune to similar calamities.

And what exactly is wrong with being prepared for the worst possible scenario?
