Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
In the winter of 1990, I experienced a power outage that lasted several days, which also impacted on water supply pumps. No leccy, no power to the gas CH pump, no lights, no anything that needed mains power. Luckily, I still had a coal fire, candles, and a battery radio. Water came from snow and was boiled in a pan on the coal fire.
Cold baked beans and other canned foods straight from the can don’t taste that bad, for does cold canned rice pud.

Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
That's a good point about water, one hopes there's some good back-up for mains water delivery . . . there are many that don't have the space for a 'field latrine' in their gardens . . or actually have a garden

Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
I think I'm pretty safe here, after all, any semi-intelligent guidance system on a missile would say to itself "bugger that, I'm going nowhere near that shithole"

Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
If London was "nuked" I would be "safe", however if we were attacked in a "multi-site" attack and "nukes" were used, well I wouldn't be typing probably ever again because I live in between 2 "high value" target cities, one upwind and one downwind, so I would be caught directly in the middle of the two.
So I can technically plan as much as I want but if "nukes" were used, my survival chances are less than 20% apparently.

We are 12 miles south of Menwith Hill, so it depends on the wind direction at the time…

On a rough estimate, I'd say the bright flash and loud bang would arrive almost simultaneously

Threads was released 42 years ago, but is still worth watching if you want to know what might happen.

Re: The Black Sky Event Plan
We have a barracks 1 mile away in one direction and another under 1 mile in the other.
But I spent 14 years in prime target locations, in the UK, Europe and beyond.
