What SHTF scenario would it take to get you off the computer immediately?

Water rushing into my house

1)Either a big boom that I felt/heard/saw.

2) MSM reporting massave riots in/near my area(has to be confirmed by radio referance and here).

the green party wins the election

Any military presence in public without a natural disaster. Outright ban of guns in Texas or loss of rights.

^^^that or a fire

Power grid failure.

haha I have solar :)

That would be the ONLY thing to get me out off my computer!

supernova?

my gut instinct

^those plus an infestation plague of insects or reptiles

mega tsunami

/thread

i base all my preparations, all probably futile, on that scenario.

i'm ready to run to the mountains at a moments notice, but the wave may well be higher than my mountains here, so that's me fucked, but it won't be for the want of trying

Yeah, that would suck

threads all over here about immediate troop movements. I live in a small town so don't have to much to worry about. But still, I'm going to immediately fill my gas tank and then hit the grocery store.

not really

if it's bright enough it might power you at night too

running out of smokes

Lights in the sky. Then I know it's time to go!

Hearing that the welfare checks bounced in da 'hood.....I go to DEFCON 1 for that.....

I'm thinking it would kick out my charge controllers and go into hibernation...

LOL, that or they didn't show up on the first...lock the doors and batten down the hatches!

loss of electricity

Nothing...food and house in a city.

Illegal to dig a shithole with enough food beneath lamps with not realy knowing which black soil is good for it.

diarrhea

The funny thing is that most people won't take action until they have a legitimate reason to run for their life.

And on a more serious thought?

How long until you switch to evacuation/defiance mode?

Say a meteor strikes a big city, or matrial law is declared in your state...will be be glued to the TV or computer - or would you take it as that one last sign to switch to the next level of your own peparedness, whatever that might be?

Emp will get me off the computer

Does it make sense to run before your life is in danger? Do you slam on the brakes in anticipation of someone pulling out in front of you even though you don't see them?

Brief's bad breath

Economic collapse or hyperinflation would get a lot of people off there computers because they would want to make last miniute preperations

When my shit actually hits my fan
