Saw a part of it-I have a basement I can use but it ain't nuclear prof shelter.

Thought you had a container at one time?

Will there be any extra charge for all the poisonous critters already domiciled there?

One walk through with his Light House shirt on?
They would be running or slithering for safer ground!

Seen the entire video clip.

I have a very high chance of surviving a nuclear holocaust.

Only thing I need is canned food and lots of bottle with waters.

As I wrote before my basement isn't build as a nuclear shelter-It's an ordinary basement where I have my washing machine, dryer and my tools.

Came up with an imaginary story where I use my own life as a reference.

You wake up by yourself, which is not the first time it happens. Suddenly you notice behind the curtain that it's almost daylight outside-Usually it use to be dark this time of year when your smartphone wakes you.

You reach out for the phone and then you press the ON-button nothing happens the screen is black. You press again this time harder and longer....nothing.

You open the drawer in your bedside table to take out the charger to your phone. You insert the thing into the smartphone and the electricity..again you press the ON-button...nothing..WHAT my phone is not even 6 month old...well they have to give me a new one-that's for sure.

You get up go out into the bathroom where you water the toilet and flush...not noticing that the cistern is not being flooded again.

You open the water...nothing comes out...only a very small beam of water is coming.

Oh man you say to yourself loudly..first my cellphone and then no water...going to be perfect day.

Going back to the bedroom to take on clothes..then into the kitchen..open the water to making coffee..no water...of course..well I still have some coffee left in my thermos you say to yourself silently.

You pour the coffee into a mug and place it in the microwave...nothing..!!?? What is this...you check the electricity to see if the microwave has electricity and you discover there's no electricity.

I go back to bed and when I wake up this nightmare will be gone. But you don't you wanna check what's new on your laptop.

The laptop is dead...

Now you start to become nervous and uncertain not knowing what to do.

Then you remember the massive thunder during the night which woke you, but you manage going to sleep again.

End of imaginary story.

I grew up in the footprint of Loring AFB in northern Maine.

One fine day I had the house to myself when everything started shaking.

The one thing I could think of was to open the windows that faced north and west, I had a feeling it was the precursor (ground) wave of Loring getting plastered and I didn't want the windows to explode when the shock wave hit.

As it turned out, we had an incredibly rare earthquake.

Make sure you shore it up well or the walls or roof could collapse. The corners are designed to carry all the weight, the rest not so much.

Münster where I live is seat of the headquzarters of the Durch-German corps (at least I think it still is), and an major administrative and medium logistcla centre of the Bundeswehr, which amke shte icty not a top priotiy target but a prferred target of interest in an nuclear exyhcnage, I assume. I live 2km form t eh city centrre where all these milizary organsiaitons have their compunds, so I muist n ot opwrry to prepoare for a nculear strike, it makes no sense to do so. If it happens, I will not even need to take note of it, that quickly it qill happen. Also, Germany is a tightly crowded place, imagine a quarter of the American population crowded into just one of the smaller US federal states. Running for shelter in an "isolated" place...? In that scenario I am meant to die from cremation, not from exhaustion.

You are correct. Better off using concrete and cinderblocks.

[Aktungbby]
