The Battle of Chattanooga
May 19 2008, 9:26 PM EDT I have heard it suggested that schools and hospitals are best places to "hole up" and survive a zombie horde. Not the case in metro chatty. There are a number of schools and hospitals that are a million years old each. None of which stand any chance against the 190,000 in chattanooga and surrounding cities. Chattanooga is a city that sits on the line of georgia and Tennessee with the tennessee river winding through it. There are also several mountains that tower over the city. Now believing Max Brooks' theories considering the mobility of the average zombie, boats are out of the question. There are plenty of access points where water bourne zoms could come ashore, and there are points shallow enough where bottom draggers could pose a threat. The downtown area is flat valley and rolling hills, dotted with residential areas and industrial complexes and an aproximate 100 square mile area of public and government office, stadium and college buildings. There are over a 1000,000 people who commute and congregate in the downtown area daily. These conditions illustrate insurmountable odds against survival in the downtown or surrounding residential areas. So what is a chattanoogan to do? When it comes to fight or flight my first though was flight. Interstate 24 and 75 run right through the city. Knoxville, Nashville, and Atlanta are the most accessable cities around, however, these highways will most likely be jammed with motorists...panic driven motorists. My best assesment thus far is the surrounding mountain terrain. I live in a house that is 68 years old and not very well defensible. I have a economical four wheel drive and enough firearms and woodland now-how to traverse and survive in such an area. There is a large park area that I studied on google maps that is north east about 35 miles from downtown chatty, and in that area is where I hunt and shoot. Vertical rock faces along will easily defendable locations prove the best place for temporary survival. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 31 2008, 6:38 AM EDT why dont you just take the river if the highways are clogged. you might see a few zeds but it will be miniscule compared to the amount that will be tearing apart the city while your trying to fight your way to the mountians. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
