Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Watching Just in Case

Prompt:
What if a massive storm wipes out technology, thrusting society into a new dark age without electricity and internet? What would happen to you, then? Could you survive it?

Hi.

I recently read a fictional story about this exact situation. I've also read quite a few end of society as we know it stories over the years. Some of these stories that I read were written before computers and technology as we know it today.

I think people have been thinking about the way society can change for many years. Because when war begins to overtake society as it did during World Wars 1 & 2 all types of things happen even to those people who may not be living in a zone where bombs are actually falling.

Literally it would be possible for us to continue for a short space of time. Someone came into our home in the summer of 2024 and cracked the glass on both the corn stoves. We used them anyway but this year we had to order the parts for them so they would burn properly and now have that to fix.

Truthfully, the people who survive will be people who are used to surviving and know how to live under stress.

The book I read most recently brought out the situation, that many people think it is easier to survive in the country than in cities. So, people living outside of cities will be under siege.

When I started looking at generators a few years ago, I realized that solar may or may not work. It depends on what takes out the electricity grid.

Food would be a hassle for everyone. In my case I have pets. Feeding them would become difficult quickly.

I won't sit around and despair over the thoughts, survival stories may bring, since you cannot figure out every scenario about this subject.

Prepare the best you can, then take one day at a time.
