[GIZMODO] Global hotting? Today's warning from the experts. I'm sure it was something we did, maybe even something that I, personally, did.

#5  From the Innerweb...

"An average person would live and/or die by the rule of three. 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without heat, 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food."

Also you have less than 3 sec to react to a physical threat.

Prepare accordingly.

#4  Speaking of which - a useful pdf (a solar charger for your devices would help as well).

#3  Katrina scenario. The millennials might have trouble since they are so dependent upon FB, Twitter, computers, and cell phones. The Mormons, military who have had survival training, and farmers would do better. The older generation who might have grown up during WWII in rural America before electrification and remembered that era would probably be O.K. I grew up on a farm in rural Michigan before it was electrified and I remember the lessons well. Heating with wood/coal, canning, making everything, killing what you eat, gardening, etc.

#2  Nothing different than the people of south Florida (or the Gulf Coast) have experience about every 7 to 10 years when a big one hits the place and returns it back to the pre-electrical days. Except, this time outside relief will be 'iffy'.
