I don't think it's going to be all that bad. That being said, this thing has attracted trouble-makers from all over, who may have planned all sorts of mischief. It's entirely possible we could have explosions, assassinations, random assaults and murders, or just more of the same looting and arson. A lot more.
So I'm going to keep the vehicles gassed up, and I've got some ammo. The wife drives way out west to work, so I think she'll be OK. We'll have to see what develops. I don't think we'll get to the point of going and staying with my parents, in the sticks. But we have that option.
