I think your estimate is way low. I think we would lose 5% in the first month after the power grid goes down and the lights and refrigerators quit. Most cities only contain enough food for three to four days.

Look at how the grocery shelves get stripped at the mere mention of a hurricane.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
