Fair use Notice:

What horrors will YOU likely face after a cave-in of YOUR nation’s economy, war, geophysical upheaval, or whatever crisis is bad enough to disturb or stop YOUR nation from working and functioning? There are plenty of very potential SHTF events that are simply awaiting a catalyst to trigger them…- SHTF Plan – When It Hits The Fan, Don’t Say We Didn’t Warn You – http://www.shtfplan.com -

This may be old news, but I am, pardon the expression, sick and tired, of the expression “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about…” etc. etc.

To which I emphatically declare: Hell Yes You Do!

Keep your eyes on the sky during the pre-dawn hours of Nov. 17-20, because that’s when the famous Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak. These meteors are fast (about 40 miles per second) and can leave trails of smoke, according to Astronomy.com. They will appear to radiate from the constellation Leo the Lion and can vary in color.

“Many Leonids are also bright. Usually, the meteors are white or bluish-white, but in recent years some observers reported yellow-pink and copper-colored ones,” according toAstronomy.com.

The best way to see the show locally, is to make sure we have a clear sky, and to try to go as far away from city lights as possible. So maybe deep in the woods, or in an area that you know is a few miles away from a bright shopping center. The city lights and the clods are you enemy for an event like this.
