Shit has hit the fan....

Well, Its official. At least on the radio anyways (cable went out sometime last night and never came back), but Russia was behind the Bio-Warfare. Apparently Morgantown was a testbed for it, to see how fast it would act, and boy did it. In a span of 8 hours, 900 people dead, 4000 people incapacitated, and 9000 showing symptoms. It was enough of an effect for Russia to impliment it up and down our easter seaboard.





And now, according to the radio, they are mounting a full scale invasion along the east coast in these areas. They must have developed an immunity. This will allow them to gain a foothold in our territory simply because they know, until we develop a treatment, it would be unwise for us to try and combat them by anything except for counter attacks that have extreme range. I heard all of this on the radio, so I tried to convey where they are visually on a map I had on my computer. Keep in mind, my paint skills aren't fantastic. But you'll get the idea. The black dots are believed to be current Russian strongholds.





Somehow, they've moved as far inland as Pittsburgh. Which means they are close, which also means Alex and I are hightailing it out of the region. I don't know where, but we'll probably keep heading west until we here of a gathering point on the radio. I don't know where that will be. This may be my last update for a while (I'm taking my laptop, but you never know how reliable internet service will be, especially in times like these) but I will try my best to keep this blog up to date with whats going on.

Stay safe everyone, those dirty russians will wish they'd never even dreamed of doing this when we're done with em.

Brant came by again

Sergeant Brant came by again today. He and his squad weren't checking for disease this time they were just passing along the "further instructions" that were mentioned in all the news broadcasts.

First: He confirmed incidence in disease in most major cities along the east coast. The disease has spread rapidly in these densely populated area, and has been aided by the cold weather.

Second: He said unless absolutely necessary we should stay in our homes, however if did feel we needed to leave the safest bet would be to head west of the Mississippi.

Third: He was unwilling to confirm Russian, or any other countries involvement.

At this point I don't know what to do. I think I'm going to have a long chat with my neighbor, Alex, and see what he thinks. Whatever we do, I think we'll be doing it together.

It can't be long now folks, because if the shit hasn't hit the fan already it is certainly about to.

Small Update

I've heard more rumoring on the news channels about biological warfare and possibly concerning russia. My neighbor, Alex, has been listening to NPR all night, and recently they said that while Morgantown was first to present signs of the disease other cities like New York, Philly, Baltimore, D.C., and Miami to name a some of them may be presenting them now. This hasn't hit the TV stations yet, but NPR says the National Guard is mobilizing.

I've prepared myself as adequately as I can to get out. I've packed up my car (see pics) and I am ready to go. I tried to go to the grocery store, but the lines were rediculous. If I have to leave I'll take what I can from the house and stop later.

UPDATE: Sergeant Brant just came by

So a nice young guy about my age in the national guard named Sergeant Brant (didn't give a first name) just came by with his squad checking the inhabitants of the houses in our neighborhood. He wouldn't say why they were "checkin on us" but my guess is they were looking for signs of infection. I say this because my neighbor down the road, Ms. Woodels, was dragged out of her house kicking and screaming by those guys in the hazmat suits.

My nextdoor neighbor, Alex, said he overheard some of the National Guard guys talking about biological warfare, russia, and XDR-TB. Between what he heard, and all of the news stations saying the exact same things : "Stay in doors. Do not leave unless its an emergency. Further Instructions forthcoming"; makes me think something is going down.

I'm gonna start prepping some food, clothes, and protection to be ready to go ASAP in case the shit hits the fan. I'll keep this blog updated as long as I can.

Update 12/11/08

Sorry for the late update. I tried to get into downtown morgantown today, but every way that I had tried had road blocks by the national guard. They held me up when I tried to go through. Wanted to know where I'd been? Why I was trying to get in the quarantine area?

I tried to get some info from them but they kept their lips tight. I did this guy testing some water beyond the blockade though and was able to snap a pic.

They must have moved quickly to quarantine the area. The news still doesn't know what exactly is going on. They did speculate about bio-terrorism though. Still seems unlikely to me.

Anyways, I'll keep updating the blog as I get more information. The authorities have so far just stressed staying far away from the quarantine zone as possible.

Strange News About

I've started this blog in an effort to reach out to the community around Morgantown WV. I'm wondering if they are as confused as I am about the Emergency News Bulletin that just interruppted the basketball game I was watching.

I wasn't really paying it much attention. I just thought it was one of the tests they do every now and then. But it was on for more than the normal 10-15 seconds. I heard them mention something about quarantine in the immediate Westover, Star City, and Downtown Morgantown areas. Something about a virus. I don't know.

I'm in the Cheat Lake Area at the moment, and there was no mention of a quarantine for us. So I guess I've got nothing to worry about at the moment.

Anyways, I was supposed to go downtown tomorrow so I am going poke around a bit for some more informationwhile I am there. Expect another update in the am. I'll try to get some picures if I can. If anyone else knows whats going on please leave a comment.

I'll keep updating this as I find more information.
