Fieldcraft SHTF Scenarios WITHOUT Civil Unrest

[bmt]

This is a parallel to my other thread.

This is a list of terrible disasters where CIVIL UNREST was avoided:

1969 Hurricane Camille. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Camille

1971 Sylamr Quake: Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1971_San_Fernando_earthquake

1976 Teton Dam failure. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teton_Dam

1989 Loma Prieta Quake (SF). Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake

1992 Hurricane Andrew. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Andrew

1994 Northridge Quake, Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northridge_quake

September 11, 2001. No need for a link.

2003-CEDAR Fire. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedar_Fire

2007 Witch Creek Fire. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_Creek_Fire#Witch_Fire

The destruction without serious social issues is amazing.

Any others to add to the list?

what about the Hurricane Ike a few years ago?

3rd most expensive storm in US History. pretty much wiped out galveston Island. Over 2 million people in Houston were evacuated etc. Many people without power or running water for months...

Floods in Fargo. And there was no lootie there. The only issues they had were media from other cities taking apart their levies

I dont recall camera crews tearing down levies. Do remember many folks who had built in the floodplain complaining bitterly how slow FEMA was.

The good thing about most river floods is 5 miles away from the riverbed is dry ground with plenty of warm beds and hot chow. That and most victims could have walked out unlike a hurricane.

I personally dont see much of this as shit hits the fan, more like mother nature behaving badly.

Might be a matter of exposure, the worst thing a woman ever said to me might be a term of endearment to some in here

Big area wide icestorm that blocks roads, cuts off power, the weather stays below freezing for a week with strong winds and a few snow storms to add the garnish to a perfect pile.

THAT might come close
