Earth Destroyed By Asteroids

Live the survivalist fantasy I've always wanted to live. :D

No law, no cops, no nations, no army. nothing to stop me from going where I want, doing what I want, living how I want. It'd be awesome.

If my basement survived then I can assume there is no crater near my houuse. I would run across the street to what is left of Walmart and steal all the water and food I can.
 
Celebrate the end of telemarketers and hope like hell my (now married-with-kids) ex's homes were among the first hit by stellar debris. :D
 
I don't have a basement, so i'd probably be dead.

For the sake of the hypothetical situation, you do. ;)

OK then, as others have said, the first thing I would do is go look for some guns as all bets are off now. Then I would take my bike and spend a few years cruising the highways blowing away bandits and living off the rewards people give me for saving their lives.

Then later when the population starts to reassert itself I would start a heavily fortified pot farm, complete with my own army of henchmen and trade weed for food and supplies. When the country is completely destroyed, there's gonna be a big demand for weed.

I will show up at your pot farm as a postal carrier for the restored United States and tell you all about a place called Thunderdome.
 
I'd call in sick.

"Hey boss? It's doing that thing again. Yeah with the flaming destruction from on high and all that. Yes I know this is the third time. Ok fine I'll come get my tools... What? Now it's happening on your end? Damn it Bob protect my tools! Hello!? HELLO!? Shit."
 
The End of the World is no excuse for work absenteeism in the NHS. So, off to work it is then. :(
 
You wake up in bed from a loud explosion. You look outside and you can see mass destruction and huge fireballs falling from the sky. You turn on the news and just before the signal cuts out it's made clear to you that the Earth is under Asteroid bombardment. According to the astronomers so many Asteroids are heading toward the Earth that they're going to be hitting the Earth for the next 30 hours and no area on the surface of the Earth is safe. Nobody knows how or why they suddenly got flung toward us but they have.

You hide out in your basement for over 30 hours. You come up from the basement to find your house completely blown apart, your entire town city or wherever is completely destroyed and laying in ruin. You search and search but you can't find any survivors for miles around, only death.

What do you do?

I call my agent on the cell phone and tell him to STOP SENDING these old, lousy Irwin Allen TV movie scripts to contemplate. ;)
 
If I emerged out of my building to find that I'm the only survivor inside the Capital Beltway. I'd gather supplies, then explore the ruins of the Capitol Building and the White House. I'll take a gun from one of the secret service bodies. I'll have my camera timed to take a picture of me sitting in what's left of the Oval Office.
