I live in a city. I would get out of here after a day or so, I figure after a couple days all hell would break loose and I want nothing to do with that. A few of my friends talked about this while we were camping a few months back. We decided that were we camp would be our meeting place. After that I have no idea.
You sir, are the correct about the cities. Within a week after a hurricane chopped power and overflowed the city pumping stations...people got back to being what they truly are. I remember 12-18 hour shifts, burglaries, looting, fighting in the free water lines. No power=no fuel. warm weather with no a/c = people outside all the time. I remember ems and hospital ers overflowing with bullshitting morons restricting access from those that really needed it.
The national guard unit in our city was activated and they rode with us on patrol on mids. Citywide curfew implemented. They were unarmed (lol) and anxious to get in it and anyone out past curfew was fair game.
People weren't even hungry or thirsty yet....
Lots of people stayed despite the conditions because they were worried about their stuff. Most people in the cities will stay, until they are forced out by the govt or by conditions.
My suggestion. If you are in the city, financially prepare for leaving. Banks will be closed so you won't be withdrawing cash. Perhaps an emergency credit card, few hundred bucks.
great post moro

Sounds like your from New Orleans. When power went out in the part of Florida I live in after hurricane Charlie people were getting crazy when the water and food trucks came around. And that was only after 5 days of no power in my area, 10 minutes away had power so it wasnt like it was a mass problem for Central Florida. Thats why I want to GTFO of here if SHTF.

Last summer when the derecho hit, there was a mixture of behaviors. There were some fights at gas stations, but there were many people helping and doing good things. The vets in our county were delivering cases of drinking water to folks. The fire department was bring water to farms if needed for live stock. I know a number of people who went around with chain saws to help clear trees. We were without power for ten days, some folks for more than two weeks.
I honestly think that the more prepared people are, the more they are willing to help and share
