She started her day at home in the mountains just like any other.
There was nothing unusual about making the familiar drive down to Sacramento to go to work.
Then, in a flash, Mother Nature decided it was time to create a new landscape.

as she is thrust into a world turned upside
down by a series of natural disasters. Embark on a gripping journey with Erica

I filled this flask with a cap of it for ya.

Thanks, Greg.
You guys better finish up and get back over here. You're up next, Erica. We're on
our way right now. Yeah, I can't wait there it is. I can't wait to relive that
nightmare again. It's over now, baby. we want to know what happened.
Come on poor little baby.
Shut up Greg.
Here have another shot.
Taylor and I were working on this Mustang in the garage.
We hid under the lift.
Thunder began and the roof smashed down.
We dug ourselves out but the house was gone.
We searched frantically through the rubble for my parents, but a gas line in the kitchen exploded.
We were blown ten feet away from the house.
That's when we saw that everything was on fire.
I knew it was over for my family.
Taylor's house was burned to a crisp when we made our way there.
Next door we heard a muffled cry and found a can pinned under the remains of her home.
Pilfering what we could, we made our way to the river and survived there until the gang from the poverty attacks.
Alright people, let's settle down. We're having a celebration.
Settle down. We're having a celebration. Woo!
And what are we celebrating?
Family!
And whose story do we want to hear?
Erica! Erica! Erica! Erica! Erica!
Thanks a lot, G-Man.
Someone has to keep them focused.
We could have a riot on our hands.
Now I feel much better.
Where do I begin?
At the beginning!
Actually, the story begins right here in Cool.
Oh, come on and let's go, let's be free right here in cool. with me
sure is good to have you home Teresa it's good to be home TJ
do you need another beer yes ma'am I do how about you
Laudner keep him coming darling you've been busy with your maps TJ
yes Mr. Lee I have need a couple more routes in and out scouted.
Going after Doyle?
With the sick and no leader?
Those people will beg for me to help them.
I have another landowner interested in our stock.
Just girls?
No, they need replacement labor for their farms.
Sick has taken out their workers with the lack of oil.
They need people for their fields.
You got it.
Perfect. We'll weed the oil out of these next few towns, but I should have plenty of new stock for you.
I'm thinking we need a couple more shower rooms to keep them clean.
We don't want the sick in our holding cells.
Talk to Trent and make it happen.
While you're at it, why don't you build some solitary cells so you can
quarantine them on the way in? That makes sense Robert. No more business. I didn't
invite you to the dinner to discuss the compound. I need a break. I'll go get the
girls. burning wild the freight train you can't stop like a nightmare but this time you don't want to wake up
it pulls you in it takes over you just can't let go of the worst best thing that's ever happened to you Major Verges, sir.
What?
Sir, Major General Barnes is requesting your presence.
I'm coming. Chappie, Mereau, on your presence. I'm coming.
Chappie, Mereau, on your feet. Let's go.
What's the plan?
I don't know, but the Major General called for us. Major, I need you to put together search teams.
We've been robbed.
What?
When?
We're thinking it was at the guard chains this morning.
They knew our patterns.
Who's in command tonight?
Staff Sergeant Kristoff. He's in the briefing tent waiting for you.
We'll watch them, sir.
Make it happen, Major. We need to make an example of these thieves to avoid future problems.
Yes, sir.
Chappie, Unro, go wake up Charlie and Alpha Squad. Tell them to get to the briefing tent, now.
Yes, sir!
Good morning, Staff Sergeant Kristoff.
Sir, I can't believe I let this happen on my watch. I'm really sorry, sir.
Seems like they were studying our pattern, Staff Sergeant. It's not your fault. What do you have for me?
Sir, I think it was a refugee squad from the west. The sergeant at the end of the wall says he saw a group move through in the early hours, sir.
Were they on foot? How are they moving supplies?
Do we have a list of stolen items?
We're still working on the inventory, sir, but it looks like it was mostly IV packs.
Show me the routes they could have taken out.
There are four major paths west, sir.
What if they weren't from the west? We should consider all the possibilities.
Call in scouts from the North and the East as well.
Roger that, Sir. in the middle. I invite you to my website, SurvivorJane.com, where I write in a conversational tone on
topics of how better to prepare yourself and family.
You can also find links to my books, What Could Possibly Go Wrong, Emergency Survival
Hygiene, and my game book, Puzzling Over Preparedness.
You can also find information on Prepper Camp, the largest three-day preparedness event in
the country every fall hosted by
myself and my husband Rick Austin.
Wake up mom, wake up dad, come on!
What are you two rascals doing?
Greg's outside waiting for you two to wake up.
Okay, okay, we're up. First time I ever saw you, I fell in love when you entered the room.
And when the light hit your face, we were just kids, but I knew right away that I will
be with you until I stop breathing.
Can't we just take a day for us?
I don't see a problem with that.
Let's go for a hike. I know a great spot to have lunch.
Star can't walk.
We'll have to put her on the horse.
I like it.
Promise you won't let go.
I'm not nothing without you
I don't know what I would do without you
You are the one I choose
I wanna go home with you

Thanks Greg, Come on, Ripper.
So what happened to you, Ben?
I picked up Dexter and Ripper.
There was still a little light left, and that crab grass was growing like crazy.
I was still mowing in the floodlight when the quake hit.
The house fell into the old mines, and so did I.
I woke up to Ripper licking my face.
He's such a good dog.
There was screaming everywhere. Explosions, and then the fires. He's such a good dog.
There was screaming everywhere.
Explosions and then the fires.
I tried to save as many as I could but...
It's okay baby.
It really wasn't, Erica.
I've never seen anything like that.
And I hope I never do again.
I hear that. Anyways, we salvaged what we could and figured we needed to go to water.
We found Big John Green down at the river.
I thought about you always, but everyone said I was crazy.
Everything I did made me think about you.
You were the one who taught me about all the survival stuff.
You're cute. I love you.
I still can't believe you're here. I won't let go I'm nothing without you

time I gave you money. You went straight to the underground ring. I just went to
watch. You ended up in the ring gambling all your money away. I tore every
ligament in that man's leg and

So many others are burnt to a crisp but still alive. What can you do in a parking lot?
Maybe if we would have been here.

We were attacked again. We killed the party that came in the hole. But they knew our plan and sent a flanking team.
And are they dead? We took them, but Trent was shot.
He's over with the dog.
And we lost ten more fighters.
That's it! I'm tired of this game.
Call in the southern scouts.
I'm going for Doyle myself.
TJ, don't be rash. Send a team.
Not this time, Mr. Lee.
I could be in and out before any of them wake from their dreams.
Nobody else needs to die. We need the laborers.
