Given all of the dire predictions out there about the future of our world, it’s reasonable to start making your plans for the zombie apocalypse. Luckily, Louisiana has quite a few locations that would make good hideouts should the danger reach our state. Here’s some of the places we scoped out. Let us know if you have any others!
According to a recent Cornell University study, certain areas will become prime zombie territory should an apocalypse break out. Austin, TX, lodged between Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, was named as one of the high-danger areas. Best thing for Louisiana residents to do? Avoid the state completely. Not that we weren’t doing that already…
While there isn’t much underground in Louisiana since our water table is so high, the numerous salt mines in the state are an exception. Great place to take cover when things get crazy---potential drawbacks: risk of sinkholes!
