What bulgron has postulated is not so farfetched. Substitute nuclear (for alien) attack and the scenario is reasonable. I believe my situation to be unique. I live on Long Island which has a pampered population of 7,000,000+ (counting Brooklyn & Queens). Beyond that lies what has been called "Megaopolis," DC to Boston) another 50,000,000 citizens. Compound this by the fact that Long Island is...well...AN ISLAND...supplied by truck and serviced by three (3) bridges to the mainland. When the stuff hits the wind generation device the stores will empty in three days...max. The refugee stream will be biblical. Escape from Hell Island? Not a chance. I'll hunker down in my basement, shotguns at the ready. We can live down there for months. We'll monitor the radio and...if things settle down...we'll head northwest. Joining the refugee stream is an invitation to be victimized.
I've always thought that if I lived on Long Island, I'd have a boat somewhere that I can use to get me the hell off that island. Have you considered an inflatable with a good outboard motor, and a sail and ores for when you run out of gas? That way, all you need to do is find a good launching spot. It seems like on an island, this shouldn't be too hard to do.
Also hunkering down in your basement is only an option if the on-coming "stuff" doesn't include a hurricane. My understanding is that New York gets hit by a hurricane about once a century. By the way, you guys are overdue....
As for me, I live surrounded by about 5,000,000 clueless California crazies. There's only three freeways out of here, and one of them goes north through San Francisco and across the Golden Gate bridge; not an inviting scenario. Behind me is a coastal mountain range and then the sea. There's only three viable roads through those mountains, none of which are particularly quick even at the best of times. If the "stuff" comes here, my only viable escape option is via the air. I sometimes think about becoming a helicopter pilot for just that reason, although whether I could get (rent) a helicopter on short notice and in the face of a looming disaster is something of a mystery.
Has anyone considered the origin of the name "bulgron ?" It does strike me as a tad Alienesque, no? Perhaps bulgron is a Alien agent sent to earth to uncover our contingency plans? I dunno fellas...but I demand proof that he is human!
Kill the monster!
