Did the storm cause an outage? | ||

Did this happen on the Earth? Time period relevant? Floods relevant? Any other peculiar weather conditions except the storm? Did the storm and the deaths occured in the same area/region? Did the storm set anything on fire/caused something to breakdown. Any plants/crops relevant? Superstition/religion/predictions relevant? Thanks  | ||

Did the storm cause an outage? Yes-ish Did this happen on the Earth? Yes Time period relevant? Yes Floods relevant? No Any other peculiar weather conditions except the storm? No Did the storm and the deaths occured in the same area/region? NO - great question! Did the storm set anything on fire/caused something to breakdown? YES Any plants/crops relevant? No Superstition/religion/predictions relevant? No | ||

RECAP: - Many humans died after a thunder and lightning type of storm, which did not occur in the same area in which they lived. This storm caused an outage and caused something to break down. - Their cause of death was partially due to lack of water - Their main water source was polluted - This happened on Earth, and time period is relevant | ||

Was the main water source polluted because of the storm? Or was it polluted already, and because of the storm they couldn't remove the pollutants? | ||

|
Was the main water source polluted because of the storm? No Or was it polluted already Yes and because of the storm No, the storm and the pollution are not related in any way they couldn't remove the pollutants? This is true, yes | ||

time period: 1400s, 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, 2000s? dark ages? biblical? ancient civilization? stone age or similar? did the storm cause an electrical outage? | ||

time period: 1400s, 1500s, 1600s, 1700s, 1800s Not possible in any of these 1900s Yes 2000s? No - it would be possible in this era, but not likely dark ages? biblical? ancient civilization? stone age or similar? Not any of these did the storm cause an electrical outage? {Yes, among other things} | ||

Did the storm cause a water pirufier device (or some other mechanism for producing drinkable water) to break down? Did these people live in a desert/mountain/forest/city/village? Were they isolated from other people? | ||

Did the storm cause a water pirufier device (or some other mechanism for producing drinkable water) to break down? No Did these people live in a desert YES /mountain/forest/city/ Not these village? Highly likely, yes Were they isolated from other people? Yes | ||

Did the storm cut off the communications links between the village and the rest of the world, thus preventing them from asking for help over the accidental drowning of a camel in their oasis which polluted their water source? | ||
| Ixoye724 (Ixoye724)

Did the storm cut off YES the communications links Not so much an issue of communications, but definately on the right track... between the village and the rest of the world Yes, at least a part of the world which was relevant to them thus preventing them from asking for help Not preventing, but... over the accidental drowning of a camel in their oasis which polluted their water source? The cause of the pollution isn't relevant - the helpful part here is to realize that they are living in a remote area with an undesirable primary source of water Good progress, not far to go! | ||

So... Their water was always polluted, so they got it from another village - which was destroyed in the storm - completely burried in sand, and they couldn't locate it anymore? | ||

So... Their water was always polluted Yes so they got it from another village No, not from another village... which was destroyed in the storm No villages were destroyed in the storm completely burried in sand, and they couldn't locate it anymore? You are still on the right track, just try a slightly different approach | ||

|
were roads, bridges, natural passages destroyed by the storm? Any land or water route cut off? | ||
| Ixoye724 (Ixoye724)
|
were roads, bridges, natural passages destroyed by the storm? Probably, but these were not of any concern to the villagers... Any land or water route cut off? These wouldn't have been of any concern to the villagers either... | ||

Did the storm cut off their supply of water? Was their water source a body of water somewhere else? This most likely occurred in the 1900s - is steam power relevant? Another form of technology that was more prevalent at the time? | ||
| Ixoye724 (Ixoye724)
|
Did the storm cut off their supply of water? A part of it, yes, but there was something of more timely importance that was to be supplied... Was their water source a body of water somewhere else? Most likely, but not entirely relevant to know exactly what the source was. The relevant part of this is that the source of clean water was somewhere else. This most likely occurred in the 1900s - is steam power relevant? No Another form of technology Yes that was more prevalent at the time? Not really 'more' prevalent, but explore | ||

Jumping in and backing up some... Their source of water was elsewhere, which is important, yes? Is it important to know how they got the water to them? Was the water source their only source? Did they stop using it when it became polluted? Or were they negatively affected because they used the polluted water? Did the storm affect primarily the area where their water came from? Some other important location along the way from source to them? Power outages relevant? Modern Water Treatment methods? Lift stations? | ||

Their source of water was elsewhere, which is important, yes? Yes Is it important to know how they got the water to them? Yes Was the water source their only source? {To which source are you referring?} Did they stop using it when it became polluted? They stopped using the water source nearest to them when it became polluted Or were they negatively affected because they used the polluted water? They did not use any polluted water Did the storm affect primarily the area where their water came from? No Some other important location along the way from source to them? YES Power outages relevant? Somewhat, but the primary incident which occured would not likely be referred to as a 'power outage' Modern Water Treatment methods? No Lift stations? Hmmm...what it this? |
