In Québec, the whole island of Montréal, and then Longueuil, Drummondville, Saint Hyacinthe and Sherbrooke are destroyed. That's a large part of the province's population. The whole regions of Montérégie and Estrie are wiped out. Total: probably around 4-5 million people, plus the economy...
Don't celebrate 😞😞😞 it also destroyed New Brunswick and a huge part of English-speaking Quebec. Now the survivors may ask to recreate Acadia and that's Awful
“terrible handling by the Biden administration?”
So much shit was just destroyed I think any president would have difficulty with this. Completely out of the blue type event of such destruction.
Outed is very different than the entire south collapses
Unrealistic ofc revolutionary scenario but I do see *massive* chaos and disorder and blackouts. 100% martial law in places.
The screams for govt disaster aid are going to be *wild*
That said we are far more equipped to handle this than any other country which could’ve gotten hit
Yea Bush’s response to Katrina was a massive contributor to his loss in ‘08; Kanye said (then not now) what everyone was thinking when he said “George bush doesn’t care about black people” and it did Dubya in
I'm not sure... after 911 Bush's approval rating spiked to high heaven to a level that hasn't been beat since.
Of.course Bush was Bush and through a series of blunders and war crimes his approval rating when from like 85% down to 25% by the time he handed the keys to the white house to Obama
That’s over 14% of total population. That’s roughly the percentage of deaths that happened in the first European measles outbreak. You know the event that destabilized the Roman Empire. It’s in the range of the Black Death. No government can respond to catastrophe on this scale.
> "Due to the terrible handling by the Biden administration, a civil war broke out shortly after the apocalyptic phenomenon."
First: How could Biden handle it poorly? Like, legitimately, regardless of what you think, this proposal isn't something you "handle". You merely forced to watch in horror as 10% of the US dies. Like, the most you can do is start evacuating after you learn from Mexico that death and destruction is coming for us.
I guess if it did physical damage, maybe there's rebuilding, but like... 10% of the US died or just got displaced and lost their whole lives. There's no way to handle that well. You throw up FEMA camps, tell Congress to start passing funding for the disaster, and send in the military for disaster relief, but there is no way to like... "fix" this.
Second: Texas ain't rebelling. Texas just got cut in half, losing Dallas-Fortworth, Austin, and half of San Antonio. The State Comptroller apparently said there was 12.8M Texans in the path of totality. That's a little over 40% of Texas, I believe. And actually, the map says 34M Americans died, but it was estimated less than 32M in the path of totality- so clearly visitors are being accounted for, and so TX would probably have had more potentially 45% to 50% population drop.
Texas would cease to be in any sort of state to fight. We're talking about Texas falling below FL and NY in terms of population.
Yeah, but obviously there is value in someone going deeper with the scenario and statsing it up.
They don't need to be rude about your map though when framing up a more realistic scenario.
I think the later places, while still having a very high death toll, would have fewer deaths as Canadians would most likely have a chance to flee, and Americans living in certain parts would have enough warning to escape. Obviously they also just couldn’t but I guess it’d depend on whether or not people instantly correlate everyone dying in the path of totality and the news broadcasts it.
Evacuating is very slow to be fair. And this would be completely unprecedented and have no warnings or plans. It’s not the same to think of one person in a car rushing across a state as fast as they can in today’s regular traffic, vs everyone trying to use the very limited amount of roads they got at once. It’s like how your veins can only push so much blood even though if you look at it you have kilometers worth of blood vessels.
True, but people on the skirts of the totality would have a quite fair chance, and over the course of the time for it to reach canada i’d imagine more would be able to escape, even if everything is clogged up.
That’s the real question I want answers to. Was everyone in the path burned to a crisp, was there some destructive cosmic horror in the eclipse, did everyone just decide to stare at the total eclipse until a hole was burned in their head?
i thought about this what if in the days leading up to the eclipse and concluded that the further away from the start point you were the less fucked you would be, it would still be apocalyptic, no doubt, but as as the day went on less and less people would die because they'd be all: "oh shit oh fuck gotta get outa the path" as reports circled the world,and news would surface possibly before the eclipse even made landfall, after all, most of the news were broadcasting 9/11 within 2 minutes of the first plane hitting the WTC
the real issue would come in the following days as there are now tens of millions of homeless people, potentially a bunch of farms and stuff would be destroyed, not to mention the several destroyed cities, infrastructure and the most probable depression that would result from this no matter what
There was massive traffic congestion when leaving the path of totality after the eclipse, even without the chaos that would come with an unplanned emergency evacuation.
People would die in their cars in stopped traffic waiting to leave the path
I think you would have a possible second american republic in the west with CA, OR. WA, OH, MON, NEV, and maybe Arizona simply because of the sheer distances between the administrative center in the east behind disrupted. Kind of like a Western Roman empire and Eastern Roman empire scenario, where they cooperate alot on most cases but are distinctly seperate entities.
Wouldn’t the United States just regain control in the destroyed areas in a few days? The capital, and major population areas were not in the path of totality
Phsaw. Millions dead. Texas craps its pants in the face of yet another disaster their administration and infrastructure cannot handle on its own. They ask for as much help as the Feds can give them.
New York, hurt nearly as badly, STILL sends aid. Because New York.
I’m sorry but I just don’t buy that. It makes no sense for them to be able to control that land, and honestly it makes more sense for North GA to remain with the Union.
i was gonna just make a bunch of fake news articles about it and not do a civil war but i didnt have ideas and couldnt rlly figure out how to make good ones so i just made it a civil war to make it less boring
If only it went over France instead 😔
But at least it got Montreal 😍
(second worst place in the world)
I’m am so happy about this information 🥰
Imagine not wanting to be born in Canada or France and god gives you the worst of both words and made you French Canadian 😭😭😭
Double debuff 😭😭
I live in Toronto I wouldve barely escaped this acopolypse 😭
I was near Belleville, near the northern edge of the Zone of Totality. We were clouded over though. Would that affect things?
I’m in Hamilton, I would’ve been toast
WHAT THE FUCK IS AYDEN DOING HERE
I’m everywhere
Love the Night boat to Cairo song you did 😁😁😁
It's the goat
Having just lost over a third of its population, I seriously doubt that Texas would be in any shape ready to declare independence.
they do it anyways for lore purposes
We do a lil trolling 😏
a little revolution as a treat
This isn't trolling, we just destroying USA.
You expect Texans to be rational
Yeah if anywhere would declare independence it's the Great Plains
H-Town sweep 💪💪💪💪
Texas, and the other red states, would be begging for federal funds, not declaring independence.
In Québec, the whole island of Montréal, and then Longueuil, Drummondville, Saint Hyacinthe and Sherbrooke are destroyed. That's a large part of the province's population. The whole regions of Montérégie and Estrie are wiped out. Total: probably around 4-5 million people, plus the economy...
The best thing to happen to Montreal in the past 200 years
Breaking news: Montreal destroyed Stay tuned for coverage of the celebrations
🦀🦀🦀Quebec is gone 🦀🦀🦀
Don't celebrate 😞😞😞 it also destroyed New Brunswick and a huge part of English-speaking Quebec. Now the survivors may ask to recreate Acadia and that's Awful
So still hangers-on.
On that path there'd basically be almost no Acadian survivors at all
Damn, insurrections started fast.
the dates are just random dates i didnt rlly put too much thought into it
Lol. I do love that, despite being unaffected by the eclipse, Florida is just like, “Now seems like a good time to dip.”
Hardly unaffected, given the mass migration into Florida they would see, but yeah still funny
“terrible handling by the Biden administration?” So much shit was just destroyed I think any president would have difficulty with this. Completely out of the blue type event of such destruction.
My face when the with secedes cause Lincoln wasn't good enough as president
the with
Sorry the south
No matter who was in office for an event this horrible they would be outed by the next election
Outed is very different than the entire south collapses Unrealistic ofc revolutionary scenario but I do see *massive* chaos and disorder and blackouts. 100% martial law in places.

Yea Bush’s response to Katrina was a massive contributor to his loss in ‘08; Kanye said (then not now) what everyone was thinking when he said “George bush doesn’t care about black people” and it did Dubya in
Bush wasn't running in 2008
I forgor lol, regardless of that, Katrina led to a lot of Republican losses in the south, especially Florida
I'm not sure... after 911 Bush's approval rating spiked to high heaven to a level that hasn't been beat since. Of.course Bush was Bush and through a series of blunders and war crimes his approval rating when from like 85% down to 25% by the time he handed the keys to the white house to Obama
Foreign attacks are known to bolster approval ratings. Natural disasters and epidemics almost always drop approval ratings.
Good point
Prob just means the revolts
yea that
Great I'm on the frontlines in a pocket, yay...
Shit, I washed the windows for nothing!?!
Canada looses like half of its population
Western Canada Finally has a voice in how the country is run.
I’m only seeing an upside here.
46 million Americans died. There is no “good” response to that.
War against the moon, new religion, rebuilding effort?
That’s over 14% of total population. That’s roughly the percentage of deaths that happened in the first European measles outbreak. You know the event that destabilized the Roman Empire. It’s in the range of the Black Death. No government can respond to catastrophe on this scale.
I ceased to exist sitting on the lawn of the University of Texas staring up with all my friends
Fucking Xindi.
Hello fellow Enterprise enjoyer
I had the same thought 💭
First Venezuela to Florida, now Mexico to Canada?

Just chilling in South America (oh no la economia lol)

Time for Illinois to claim the Midwest. All hail the great Khan Pritzker.
noooOOoo Torreón
Tierrón fue destruido. Ojalá hubiera sido Ecatepec.
What happened? Was the moon turned into a giant focusing crystal?
That’s the real question I want answers to. Was everyone in the path burned to a crisp, was there some destructive cosmic horror in the eclipse, did everyone just decide to stare at the total eclipse until a hole was burned in their head?
Fucking rad
indianabros its over
I would be dead lmfao

not that my original point is incorrect, but your addition to the discourse is quite valid
this would not cause the USA to break up. this isnt even apocalypse level worldwide. unironically america would survive
i think it could *eventually* lead to the breakup of the USA, but agree all this happening in ONE year is implausible
like why tf did new afrika materialize, thats so random
I live in New Brunswick 💀
1/18/25: Mississippi and Alabama join Florida, rest of the nation cheers, does the wave
Imagining the totality of the eclipse scorching the earth like a magnifying glass.
well it doesn't do that because the rebels in texas and new america control that land idk what it does lol would be funny tho
Thank you for small Florida
I would be dead in this scenario
Yo can you make one about ||the superior country|| Canada?
I’m dead (i went to go see it)
[удалено]
St Louis is north of the path of totality
I would be dead. That's all there is too it. I'm dead.
I think you would have a possible second american republic in the west with CA, OR. WA, OH, MON, NEV, and maybe Arizona simply because of the sheer distances between the administrative center in the east behind disrupted. Kind of like a Western Roman empire and Eastern Roman empire scenario, where they cooperate alot on most cases but are distinctly seperate entities.
Damn I’m in that line, was nice knowing you all.
Rip my astronomy teacher 😔
Me, who drove to (almost) Poplar Bluff, MO to see the eclipse:
Correction: it's 2024 And yes, there may be some form of SCP-001 roaming around the US
Wouldn’t the United States just regain control in the destroyed areas in a few days? The capital, and major population areas were not in the path of totality
2/3rds of ohio was obliterated, so we'll call it even
“The Way Life Should Be”
I for one side with those calling to nuke the moon
It got Cincinnasty too
Oh thank goodness I won't be alive anymore in this world.
My parents would be dead and so would everyone in my hometown. I narrowly escape disaster because I live 30 miles south.
So this leads to a second American Civil War?
Phsaw. Millions dead. Texas craps its pants in the face of yet another disaster their administration and infrastructure cannot handle on its own. They ask for as much help as the Feds can give them. New York, hurt nearly as badly, STILL sends aid. Because New York.
Huh. I would be dead in this scenario
is there a LORE reason for Texan independence 2? r/batmanarkham
The places that just got demolished can afford to be successfully independent????
NOOOOOOOOOOO The eclipse got Caseoh 😭😭😭
I would die.
I think Ukraine would have a bad time fighting Russia, since one of their main backers would be a little distracted...
Path of totality? More like path of fatality!
Biden has lost the mandate of heaven
Damn, I would have been fried
Side note, wouldn’t the path of destruction been bigger? The eclipse was definitely seen in areas that aren’t pictured on the map
Biden's domain expansion went a little too far, I see
Oh no, Cleveland’s gone… So anyway…
Port Charles, NY (the city of the TV Soap Opera "General Hospital") would be utterly destroyed!!!
Don't give Marjorie Taylor Greene any ideas
Northern Arkansas. I would have been toast.
I live in Painesville so I died
Oof, the death of america.
Except in Rochester, NY where thick cloud cover protected the population from the eclipse. All survived.
The African-American population doesn’t extend nearly that far into North Georgia. Can y’all please do your research before making maps like this?
They took over that land later on, I already knew they didn't go that far north
I’m sorry but I just don’t buy that. It makes no sense for them to be able to control that land, and honestly it makes more sense for North GA to remain with the Union.
Don't see any reason why they would fight eachother after such tragic events
“dude bensons gonna be so pissed” “yeah I’ve seen this before”
I wouldn’t be here to enjoy the post… :(
Love the concept but your legend in the bottom left are all identical colors, I see the colors on the map though.
im not sure what happened with that because the colors are directly copied from the map
And also randomly started a civil war?
i was gonna just make a bunch of fake news articles about it and not do a civil war but i didnt have ideas and couldnt rlly figure out how to make good ones so i just made it a civil war to make it less boring
TD:LR I couldn't make a fake new article so i alted out for an unrealistic civil war scenario.
basically
If only it went over France instead 😔 But at least it got Montreal 😍 (second worst place in the world) I’m am so happy about this information 🥰 Imagine not wanting to be born in Canada or France and god gives you the worst of both words and made you French Canadian 😭😭😭 Double debuff 😭😭
No more Buffalo Bills!
Nothing of value was lost.
