Where does the water come from? You think it simply emerges from the rock?

Yes, in my case. It's 700' of solid rock.

Water will no longer go where it used to go. Most of it will simply wash away. You will be fine for a season.

Maybe. Or maybe it will be there a lot longer.

But as I said to the other guy, how are you going to draw the water up? Where are you getting the power? Every line, above or below ground will be buried. Every generator or transformer will be buried or choked.

Every one? I kind of doubt it.

Nope, the generator in your garage will work until it runs out of power.

There are alternatives to electric pumps. Maybe you ought to do some research.

And I would recommend you do some research as well.

I have said repeatedly that this won’t happen in our lifetime. But I am also saying, if your mind cannot grasp the complete change that would come to as a result of such a change in the environment, then you could improve your preps.

The world changes quickly. Believing you are “bullet proof” has been the end of many a pioneer.

Thinking your water will always be there, because it always has been there is a dangerous way to think.

And yeah, in the fall out area EVERY power line above ground will be destroyed. Every transformer, generator, every source of traditional power generation, and the new non traditional, will be gone. I guess if you can generate through thermal transfer you might be ok.

Consider taking a landmass equal to two or three feet of ash the size of Texas, and heating it to a thousand degrees and exploding it into the sky in a second using all of the atom bombs produced by all of the countries, ever.

Then you can begin to comprehend what it would be like. They refer to these as extinction level events for a reason.
