February 18th seems like a very dangerous day to me, dangerous enough that I'm preparing for it. The Moon will be at apogee at the same time as these
other converging objects making it problematical as to whether the interaction of the various gravititational effects will cause problems. Ther is a
potential for the Moon to be struck and the resulting derbis showering upon the Earth; multiple small, medium, and large bits for several months: a
"summer of hell", indeed.
Fortunately, I live where I can "bug in", since under this scenario I don't think going anywhere else would be much of an improvement for anyone.
I'm stocking up on as many seeds as I can, planting an early garden, and hope to get a well dug soon. I've warned as many friends as I can, and told
them that my place is a rally point if things go bad. I've asked them to prepare as well as they can within their budgets: crank lights, solar
equipment, portable generators, MREs, medical kits, pedialyte, etc. I've also informed them that if the rocks rain down and they come, this isn't a
democracy: my place, my rules. Fortunately everyone's agreed to this as I've got the most experience and am the most prepared physically and
mentally to deal with such a crisis. I have a large library already, and will be picking up how-to books to fill the holes; I suggest recording the
Science Channel program "How it's Made": not only do you see how to make something, you see the tools with which it's made, crucial information if
you need to start from near-scratch again.
I've also studied my local terrain by walking and googleearth to locate defensible positions, choke points, observation points and good ambush sites.
If push came to shove, with a dozen or so people we could hold off a fair-sized mob, of zombies, desperadoes, or military, or whatever.
Be sure to check out those links: I'm not saying anything is certain, just potentially very dangerous, and it's best to be prepared.
