How To Weather the Zombie Apocalypse

When an intrepid  weather professional contacts and tells us "How to Weather the Zombie Apocalypse" -- well... we listen. That's one of the 8 things we're here for!

At this time we can't reveal the other seven, (zombies do not become zombies instantly-- you and I know this).  When the time is right, we will reveal the other seven.

But this one, info that is out there for the living and the dead to read-- we would be reticent not to forward this to everyone.

So grab your notebook.   Here we go....

WX: What would a zombie do in a tornado? Would it instinctively know to seek shelter?

CDD: No, it would not. They are mindless creatures, but we are also working on enhancing their creative and reasoning abilities, as well as self-preservation and other important behaviors.

WX: If a zombie got struck by lightning, would it cease to animate?

CDD: If the brain is destroyed, yes it would. We've actually conducted experiments with electricity, and we believe it would take a precise hit for the zombie to go down permanently. Perhaps we'll experiment with lightning rods during the next storm.

WX: Do zombies eat less during the winter months?

CDD: They move slower in the winter months, so out of necessity they eat less because it is harder for them to catch their prey. However, a zombie will never starve to the point of death, and when the spring comes they'll be highly mobile and ravenous once again.

WX: Are zombies bothered by the sound of thunder? Does it affect their hunting abilities?

CDD: Zombies hunt by sight, smell, and sound. Whichever is the most prominent indicator at the time, that is what they will track. So if they are in pursuit of prey and they hear the sound of distant thunder, they might head that direction because they think there is something there to kill and eat. It could be very disorienting to them.

WX: So if you are camping out and a there is a thunderstorm approaching, it's probably a good idea to pack up and move camp?

CDD: Exactly.

WX: How easily would a zombie be able to get around in a flood? Can they swim?

CDD: They can't swim, but they can walk through and even underwater, as their bodies have no need for oxygen. In deep waters, they sink straight to the bottom. In fact, the oceans and lakes are now filled with zombies at their depths.

WX: So it's probably not a good idea to walk through flood waters?

CDD: I wouldn't.

The CDD would like to invite the general public to their facilities for an educational tour on how the zombie virus can work for and improve society. Located at 4215 Thurman Rd. Conley, Georgia 30288, the facility is safely outside the city limits of Atlanta. Look for signs marked "Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse".
