which apocalyptic senario do you fear the worst?

You'll dehydrate a hell of a lot faster if you drink bacterial water than if you didn't. Might as well drink salt water.

As long as you also have fire, should be fine.

I live in the suburbs. I can walk to a decent sized lake surrounded by woods. If it came down to it, a bucket, an axe and a lighter gets me all the water I want.


Still, I can't imagine a widespread water outage that lasts. Even if it was a solar flare that fried power generation throughout the continent and it would take them months to restore service, I'm sure they'd find a way to get water pumping stations back online very very quickly.


The more I think about it, the more I think a massive electrical outage, even a long one, wouldn't be a huge problem. Food would be in short supply due to refrigeration going out but we'd probably survive. Hope everyone likes bread. They'd get critical systems online quickly with portable generators if necessary, although it might take them half a year to fix the transformer outside your house.


I guess the worst and most plausible disaster would be something like massive volcano eruptions. I'd rate that as more likely than massive nuclear war. Enough volcanos erupt to impact the light reaching the earth and cause massive crop failures and then we're in a world of hurt and there's not much you can do about it.
