Surving the Storm

So, I evacuated from the storm though I probably did not need to. Things were not entirely smooth and I probably went farther than necessary.

Was I safe? Absolutely.

Was my home safe? Mostly.

I wonder then when is the appropriate time to act? How does one know when to skip town and when to board up the windows and wait out the storm?

I feel like I would have that instinct or I would probably be eaten by a hoard of undead. Is it more of a skill you cultivate? Perhaps. I suppose I could ask real survivalists. If anything, I learned is it is more important to make decisions. It is amazing the amount of stress that compiles from indecision--I found myself at times so uncertain as to which path to take.

I am learning my own metal. I can make choices and I can stick with them. However, unless a group has a designated leader, chaos will reign and one is more likely to get lost in the tide rather than safely make it to shelter.

At least I can make a decision. Now to learn how to make the best one.

What about you, fearless storm/zombie survivalists? How would you weather the coming surges?
