The song, "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden, is what is going through my head. I live a few hours from the Rocky Mountains, even though we try not
to be too paranoid my husband and I have already decided that is where we will be headed if the SHTF. Although we will have to watch out for avalanche
areas... seems to be a high risk level as of late (I am not surprised).
Speaking of the bizzare weather, which people would have to be blind to not notice, in Alberta (where I live) we just went from (+2 - +7) Celsius to
(-28 - -38) Celcius in only a few days. It was raining here last week, I don't remember a day in my 25 years that it has rained in January. And now
we are expected to shoot back up to the +'s in about 2 days with potential for more rain. Not to mention we hit a record snowfall this Jan where it
dumped almost 4 feet in a matter of days...
As far as survival goes, this summer I was planning to grow a few small food-stuffs at my apartment (on my balcony) just to get an idea as to how to I
would do it. I also am fortunate, I have access to lots of non-perishable goods and bottled water, that could come with me in case of an
evacuation.
This may be slightly un-related, but I do not think so... Their are ancient petroglyphs up high in the mountains of Alberta, if a previous cataclysm
forced people to move to higher levels of altitudes then I am heading where those glyphs are.
