I was actually thinking about the people who live in cities but have bought rural property and have prepared a place to go or have planned to go to relatives or friends in the rural areas-with their permission of course.
I may be wrong but I think those that have no plan and at the last minute decide to head for rural areas will likely not have the skills to get out of the chaos in the city and get to a real rural area. If things are that bad it will take some skills to get out and get where they are going. People that do not make plans to begin with are not likely to have the skills to be a bother to anyone that doesn’t live right on the edge of a city.
Yes. My friends and neighbors have talked about this some and have decided that a lot of 'killing' in the city will occur before anyone uninvited and dangerous shows up.
We've also decided that those that do eventually begin to show up are the survivors of that first round of 'killing' and are likely to be some pretty bad company.
We'll be sitting up road blocks while they're busy in the city with the first round.
I suuurree hope it doesn't come to this...
You’re right. Bumper to bumper non-moving 5 o’clock traffic will be a piece of cake compared to the first days of HTF. During hurricane evacuations, people get stuck on freeways so long they run out of gas and there is always that crazy guy who causes a wreck or goes all road rage. And that’s with days of advance warnings. Even if they did have a rural place to head to, many city folk won’t be able to get there and, as you said, most would be clueless if they did get there.
Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreadin’ out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
New York is where I’d rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore a penthouse view.
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.
...The chores.
...The stores.
...Fresh air.
...Times Square.
You are my wife.
Good bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.
