So the other day another coworker begins a worried discussion of events and we begin discussing preparations. He and I have a long conversation and he is eager to learn. He tells me that he has an acre and a trailor house near a lake where he would go if it went bad. It's not stocked and very little garden area etc and we discuss this as well as the fact that it's one of those lakehouse areas for the summer where others will try and run to as well. We have alot of work to get him up to speed.
The one thing I brought up that had never occured to him was the lake. It is a damed lake that I am familar with. He stated he is 1/4 mile away and could haul water easy with no issues whatsoever. I asked him how far the water would be away from the lake when the dam fails. He is stumped.
I tell him there is a creek that runs under the lake that was what was damned up to begin with and thats where the water will be then, he needs a map of the area. The area is very steep and hilly and the water wont be near as easy and would be almost 1 mile away then and won't produce enough to support all them mobile lake homes. It would be an all uphill haul of several hundred feet climb.
The point of this posting is to think of what will be destroyed after SHTF and how it could effect you and the BOL/BIL.
Will the dam break destroying your location downstream or leaving you high and dry, Will the Nuke Plant melt down, Will the area flood as pumps stop, Will the expansion joints give making the bridge impassible, Will the house slide off the edge of the embankment when the rains come and no one sheers up the cliff, Will the power poles fall on the house as they age? These are questions to ask as intrastructure fails due to lack of attendance or lack of funding.
