The ARkStorm (for Atmospheric River 1000 Storm) has brought a devastating flood of biblical proportions to California forcing millions of people to evacuate. For the preppers attending PrepperStock this year the troubles brought about by the this disaster have just begun as the economy begins a slow collapse and acts of terrorism threaten America`s survival. Refugee camps are filling up with millions of evacuees who remained at shelters and were not lucky enough to bunk in with friends or relatives and try and start over again. The end of a functioning U.S. economy is compounded by mysterious grid failures nationwide. The ARkStorm fiction book series is patterned after the 1861–62 historical events that flooded the central valley of California. The scientifically realistic "superstorm" scenario developed and published by the United States Geological Survey has been adapted as a story line that includes the author's modern day applications of emergency management principles with a prepper community slant. Keep your feet and your powder dry folks!!
Good story, leaves you wanting more! Based on an event that happened in the 1860's, an Atmospheric River storm hits California as terrorists are hitting power and water supplies around the country. The book follows several new and experienced "preppers" and their experiences leading up to and in the event. Even though these books by Mr. Foster are listed under Fiction, there are so many tips and tricks in the books that you don't realize how much you're actually learning! His writing style is "comfortable Southern" and always leaves me wanting more!
I am such a huge fan of Ron Foster and his books! This one was no different. Facts and products and prepping tips woven into a story relevant to our daily lives and possible catastrophic events. Do yourself a favor and purchase this book. Then use it as another guide to preparing yourself and your family for possible emergency situations. Highly recommend!
I really, really enjoy Ron Foster's books and this was no exception. It was a different view for me, as it is set in California and being on the east coast, an arkstorm is something I never had to think about. As usual, Ron makes me think about what I would do in this situation.
