How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse in Lubbock, TX

Zombie films are some of the most common cult classics and most watched shows, but what would it look like if the zombie apocalypse actually happened here in Lubbock, TX?

Well, thanks to the power of AI, I asked that very question. Here's how that conversation went with our computer overlords.

Priorities for Survival

ChatGPT first emphasized the importance of having a reliable source of water as your number one priority. Because of this, it recommends Lake Alan Henry as your go-to apocalypse bunker.

Not only does Lake Alan Henry give you a water source (drinkable only after boiling), it can also be a food supply with fish and other animals. It's also pretty isolated in some areas, perfect for growing crops and avoiding roaming zombies or other survivors looking to cause some trouble.

Once your food and water is taken care of, you then need to consider defense and fortifications. For example, a family of four will most likely find better luck hunkering down at one of the small farms surrounding Lubbock County.

If a farm is not realistic, your main focus should be to avoid downtown Lubbock. This is because you don't want to be near areas with dense populations. Whether Lubbock consists of humans or flesh-eating monsters, avoiding the main city is your best bet.

Where to Avoid During an Apocalypse in Lubbock

Large medical centers like UMC or Covenant should be avoided during a zombie apocalypse. Desperate crowds seeking medical goods will do nothing but draw unwanted attention.

Jones AT&T Stadium is also somewhere to steer clear from. Again, large open area with too many chokepoints to be considered safe.

Your best bet, whether you're alone or with your family, is to find a small home or base near Lake Alan Henry, reinforce it with solar power and fencing, and begin planning for all potential emergencies.

Stock up on canned goods like peanut butter and freeze-dried meals from local stores like United Supermarkets, and keep a small, silent arsenal ready of crowbars, hatchets, and knives.

Lastly, remember to always keep a change of underwear on hand at all times. This is just good advice for life in general. You just, you never know.
