Very interesting article. Something missing tho- the crime which will inevitably follow a disaster.. We all would consider such possibilities... no mobs, no criminal gangs or bubblegums just acting out their true natures, no desperate people acting the wolf to stay alive and care for their families. Also nothing about disposing of the dead, and the mass die-off of the injured and ill.. Good shtf article tho. Something to give thought to no matter where we live..Five Minutes

I was on the 4th Ave bridge by Union Station watching all the older building smoke stack tumble over, that was one for the record books. Cell service was lost or unavailable for 6-8 hours as I recall also. I watched the 4-5 cranes where Qwest feild was being built, thinking are they coming down.I was working in an office building in downtown Seattle

The article was about the 1st 5 minutes. All that concomitant riot and affray are indeed inevitable, but probably won't kick off until more than 5 minutes have elapsed from onset of the event.
That said, I sure wouldn't want to set off for home without a piece on my person.
Amazing story!I was on the 4th Ave bridge by Union Station watching all the older building smoke stack tumble over, that was one for the record books.

I was a shaken baby so I'm good.

Buried in that article (1 of 5) is a link to part 2. Readers are led in that same way to parts 3, 4, & 5 encompassing a couple weeks of events and activities. There is some brief mention that commercial looting will happen, but that's apparently inconsequential in the big picture. Otherwise, the assumption seems to be that everyone would stay relatively civilized even though tired, scared, and desperately hungry & dehydrated.Something missing tho- the crime which will inevitably follow a disaster....
