Everyone was preparing for a massive burst of radiation about to hit. There was no talk of the source but my non-dream mind thought solar flares would be the cause.  Schools let the children out early and I watched the neighborhood children get off the bus. I was concerned about 1 household as I didn't think they had enough safe places for their 3 children.

We were charging all the battery devices as we prepped. Electronics such as laptops, tablets and phones and backup storage devices  were going into microwaves, refrigerators and other heavy metal appliances. I started to remove all the refrigerator contents from our 2 refrigerators, sweeping everything onto the floor  so we could be inside when the radiation storm hit.  

We understood the storm would last 2 hours, which was early afternoon EST on a weekday. I kept my eye on the clock as only a few minutes remained.   Children would be the priority for placement in a safe spot, adults would take cover in basements.

i recall worrying about air levels but figured if air was low, the person would have to take the risk and crack the refrigerator door open. I eyed our microwave thinking an infant might fit.  I thought of people at the grocery store, fortunate as they could stay in place and be safe in the store's large locked coolers, although it woul be freezing.
