Russian Meteor! INCOMING !!!!! Duck and Cover!!!!!!

Every prepper's dream and nightmare is when it actual happens. Just yesterday an asteroid passed very near the earth. As expected it missed by 17000 miles. Very close to a hit by any cosmic standard.

Then suddenly to our astonishment A meteor slams into Russia! UNEXPECTED!!! Complete surprise!!!

A sudden bright flash across the Ural mountains. A loud boom then a huge shock wave!!! Windows are blown out, roofs collapse, over a thousand injured.



It was estimated the meteor was about the size of a school bus. When it exploded about 15 miles above the earth it created a shock wave about 20 times greater than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima Japan at the end of the second world war. Lucky for the Russians because it was so high in the sky the air absorbed much of the impact. Had it been nearer the earth when it exploded there would have been much greater damage.

With the end of the cold war no one is being taught what to do if there is an explosion. I grew up learning DUCK and COVER.

What is duck and cover?

First. If you see a bright flash of light turn away from the light.
Second. Duck, get down low.
Third. Take cover get under something.
Last. If possible get underground or to the center of a building.







If you are outside get as low as you are able. Get behind a stone or mason wall or in a ditch.

In Russia yesterday when there was a bright flash in the sky many people went to the window to have a look. As they gazed up at the trail of smoke in the sky they heard a loud boom. This was the sonic boom caused by the meteor coming into the atmosphere. Then followed the shock wave. Most people did not see it coming as they looked out the window. When it hit the buildings they were in it shattered the windows. Hundreds were hit and injured by flying glass and other debris.

If you suspect any kind of explosion move away from any windows. They may shatter and can cause sever injury.

Russia is not the only place to have this happen. In Nevada near Las Vegas a factory exploded. Much the same thing happened there. Hundreds of people were struck with broken glass and debris. The shock wave was so strong it knocked cars off the road.

So remember! If you see a bright flash in the sky. Duck and Cover! Wait to see if there is a shock wave. Give it plenty of time before you get up. When you do get up do not go to the window to look out. Go to a door on the side of the building away from the point of the bright flash of light.

Fortunately the Russian meteor was not as devastating as it could have been. It is a warning for what can happen, a sneak preview of what can and someday may happen.
