If it was just a matter of hunkering down at home and rationing food and water for a few weeks it would be a piece of cake.

It's the hordes of illegals and gangbangers from Providence that will be the big worry. After a night in the woods in the freezing cold, they'll do anything to anybody to eat and get warm. Would be like a Mad Max movie.

Re: 8945

Try all the California coast folks, headed east, with 300 miles of hot dry desert to cross.

There will be no gas or water for sale or available, first the gov will take control of all supplies and next is the simple fact that without electricity the pumps won't work to get it out of the tanks.

The winter of 1954, we had gone to Yuma from San Diego, a nice trip, but coming back that night the pass from the desert to the mountains on I-8 was closed, (snow)we were sent back to the desert to wait for morning.

Coyote Wells, a wide spot on the road, with a tiny cafe, sold out every bite of food and cup of coffee.

Come morning, it looked like an ocean of cars, hundreds of them, parked and waiting.

We went back to El Centro for breakfast, only 27 miles, but if a little snow storm does that, imagine, what real panic will do.

Bill always said that we needed to get guns that took the NATO ammunition, as if we were invaded, there would be bullets available on the battlefield dead.

People are such fools, we once picked up a hitchhiking man and woman with a 2 year old child, out of El Centro and took them on to Yuma, Az. They did not even have a bottle of water with them, I wonder if they made it to Texas?

Yes, I had extra water, people hate to travel with me, I take extra's and then when they get consumed or used, it becomes "good thing that you brought that". LOL
