If all hell broke loose right now, what would you do?

With long enough exposure the steam would denature the proteins in the Z's cells internally an eternally killing it. Once the steam got into the Alveoli in the lungs that would be the end of it. It would no longer be able to breathe. No breath => No aerobic respiration. I reckon it would have an hour at the most if it was able to use up all of its fat reserves. By then its blood would be so acidic it would have pickled its self.

No offense ment Crowbar, I think you were using the World War Z shambling zombie type? I was assuming we were talking about living zombies rather than the impossible type :L

Yah, you're right Sol. I instantly configure them into that genre and forget that in the KCverse, they can be gassed, electrocuted and KTFO! Wait, come to think about it, none of that stuff from earlier episodes actually killed them though...... hmmm..

But some were obviously suffering from malnutrition. You simply can't run off nothing. The steam would prevent them from taking in oxygen. No oxygen= no aerobic respiration (how we normally respire for non biology freaks) and then the Z's are burning all the fuel they have for very little energy output. Your right about the gas bit, but Kc wouldn't be able to do many of the interesting things h is if he had to do vast amount of research into, for example, how Chloroform works. It could also be down to the way Michael made it. Too be honest though its not such a difficult process, you'd find everything you needed in a highschool chem lab.

I'm going to start posting pictures of buildings I'd hold up in and stuff I'd "try" and use. If you can, snap off some pix of stuff you thing would help you.

Hmmm... Well first of all I would stay home for roughly a week or two. I know for a fact that we would have enough for that amount of time... Unfortunately the closest tall building is no where close and the only ones I can think of are like office buildings... So no hotel/apartment strategy for me.

I will be with my family, so It won't be too big...

after about two weeks, most people will either be undead or fleeing to the airports, so I will gather supplies, equipment weapons(my weapon of choice at first will be a metal bat in my garage . Good reach and easily knock down any incoming dead. I would search for a crowbar and firearms) and anything else I can find. I would not want to stay at my house, as there are many ways of entry but there is not really anywhere else to go. The town I live in is mainly houses. Do you guys have any suggestions? The surrounding towns aren't much better. I would have to travel a good distance to get to any type of building over 4 stories. SUGGESTIONS ON MY NEXT MOVE?!?!?!?!

I would strongly recommend getting out of that house ASAP. A few days seems too long a stay in your home, let alone two weeks. As far as a strategy, that's entirely dependant on where you live. If you're close enough to the outskirts of the town, your best bet is a couple of cans of gas, whatever food and medical supplies you have on hand and getting the frack out of Dodge. If you can, stick to back roads and avoid main arteries whenever possible. The more people you encounter, the more risk you take of coming across people who either want your resources or want to band together with you to drain your resources faster. If you're with your family, stick with your family. A lot of people will tell you that there is strength in numbers, but there's a much greater risk for deception in numbers, as well as attracting too much attention to you and yours.

I would suggest finding a relatively remote chunk of land with either a cabin or a farmhouse on it, fortifying and staying low and quiet until you feel you are safe enough to start organizing a way to grow food. I would also strongly suggest looking for some place with natural, moving water like a river or stream. It will not only provide a source of drinking and cleaning water, but will provide a source for power as well.

That would have been my first reaction, just to leave ASAP, but if I just follow what everyone else is doing, I am sure to get in to a terrible situation. Staying low for at least a few days is the best idea in my opinion. Let everyone else get caught in traffic. Following the ENTIRE area around me is like suburbs. The closest possible place I could think of is about a 2 hour drive away. Plus I have no idea how to farm etc

You might want to see to that. If you can't grow your own food, you're likely not going to survive beyond what canned foods you have. Save at least one bullet for yourself, and best of luck! :)

Live on a battleship or an Ocean liner for numerous obvious reasons.. But yeh... Reality wise I'd probably die since I live in one of the most populated cities in the world.. dependant on the speed of turning I may have a chance... But if I was back home in Australia... I'd prob try and find a fortified vehicle, or some kind of truck full of meat and get the hell out of dodge... bring a few bush tucker manuals, a beef jerky maker and live off the land like the hillbillies of state Alabama. I'd also bring along my trusty Banjo.
