I'll almost certainly be one of the casualties. I could muddle thru for a while on food. Water might be a problem. and I can handle many of my meds.
What will kill *me* will be the loss of power. I've got sleep apnea. so if the power goes, I don't sleep. I may pass out for varying periods, but I won't get any *rest*.
In at most, a few weeks, I'll be useless to myself or anybody else.
So unless I could miraculously get evacuated, I won't make it.
And I'm far from alone in having lack of power be a killer. Unlike some things, you can't really stockpile power. Solar cells would be about the only possibility, but even the small amount of power I'd need is horribly expensive. :-(
Still I can survive a lot of *other* disasters ok.
