I guess it all depends on how much food and water I had stored, and where I was when it happened. Short term, I'd bug in, bring everything upstairs, lock down and block the steps leading upstairs. Long term, I don't know. My Dad lives in the country on the high ground with a garden, so.....

Mm...
I'd probably do something really similar.
Short term, yeah... Just baricade the downstairs and stay upstairs...
Long term... I've got a lot of friends and family that live in the country. :] I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I stopped by for a few months...
If it was really bad, I'd just go live in the woods forever. Haha.
I'd defend my home for as long as I could. I live in the city, and have no family within 1500 miles. At some point I would load up my wife and gear into my jeep and make a run for it. Trying to contact family.

I'd be hunkered down on my Firebase David with a 360 degree free-fire zone around my command post.
Moose...you got the right idea.
What can be worse? Perhaps illiterate alien bunny zombies with a poor-me attitude?
Sheltering in place is my philosophy. I have everything I need here, not to mention a good to excellent 360 degree view from my home, I know the land typography, where the fresh water spring is and where the deer congregate.
Shelter, water, food and ammo is all I need.
IF this were to become uninhabitable, I'd head north central Wisconsin to the property we own... fresh water, lots of deer and enough trees to build and sustain a shelter of necessity... not to mention close enough to an active rail system to truly head north to the Minnesota/Wisconsin border... there are enough national forests to hide in, if need be. Maybe Bayfield County or the Apostle Islands...?
... a man's gotta have options.
